5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe during the BR years to December 1963


Help Please - Could you look through your railway archives ? We are keen to build up a history of the Earl's service in Great Western days and in British Railways Western Region days. If you have any photographs of the Earl, records of sightings of the engine (either on shed, in the works, or in service) or indeed any other reminisces of the Earl ... then please could you send them (or a copy) to us or at least let us know what you have. Thank you very much! See below.
