At Buckfastleigh currently awaiting heavy restoration 3205 was built by the Great Western Railway at Swindon Works in 1946 and is the sole surviving member of the 120-strong 2251 class of locomotives designed by C. B. Collett. The class was built for use on lightly laid lines in Wales to replace the ageing locomotives that the GWR had inherited from the Welsh railway companies that it absorbed during the 1923 grouping, when Britain’s 123 railway companies were merged into just four companies, the GWR, SR, LMS and LNER. #trainspotting #train #steam #depot
