Old Oak Common Depot
The turntable pit, which survives as a relic of steam operations at this depot. At the time of taking this photo the table itself had been removed for maintenance and the workmen in the shot were repairing the trackbed.
47121 stands on the right, on one of the roads that leads to other parts of the depot. Beyond is the light maintenance shed in which 2 Western class 52s await their next turn of duty.

In a transitional stage, with signs of redevelopment activity. The turntable (in line with the chimney) has been removed but the pit remains, fenced off. The far buildings are the surviving sheds, the near, just showing on the left, is disused, soon to be demolished.

An oil-burning 'Castle' 4-6-0 refuelling at Old Oak Common Locomotive Depot
During the abortive scheme for limited substitution of oil for coal instituted shortly after World War Two - and soon abandoned, refuelling facilities were provided at the GWR's Old Oak Common Locomotive Depot. Here one of the five 'Castle' 4-6-0s converted to oil, No. 5039 'Rhuddlan Castle' (built 6/35, oil-burner 1946-49, withdrawn 6/64) is seen there in January 1948.
