Sorry, wrong.
Correct. 30062/62/66/74/65/70 became DS233-DS238 in November 1962 to December 1963.
Your turn to set.

A total guess!
Next up:
Taff Vale Railway Class 02 0-6-2T No. 85 is preserved at the KWVR. Where did it operate between 1929 and 1968?

Yes, it was in the north east. Based at Philadelphia in the Durham coal field.

Before that it did work on the Longmoor Military Railway though.

Taff Vale 28 (GWR 450) was sold to Woolmer in December 1927 and then to South Hetton Colliery in December 1947: in 1960 it was given to the BTC. 85 (GWR 426) went to Lambton, Hetton & Joicey Collieries in April 1929. (From RCTS books.)

Thanks for that - I had a feeling there was a TVR 0-6-2T in the Longmoor picture somewhere! is it now at the NRM?

I think it is part of the National Collection (NRM rather than National Museum of Wales), but is based in Wales and is currently being overhauled on the Gwili. (According to Wikipedia.)

Thanks. I have to declare open floor as I haven't anything to hand at present for another question.

They were all originally built to Brunel gauge (7 feet 0 1/4 inches)?

It was only open for about ten years, back in the 1860s or so, and then disappeared as bits were removed.

Correct....it came to be known as "The Stolen Railway". Apparently there are currently plans to build a "Greenway" walking and cyling route along the old formation. Your turn to take the Roscrea staff.
