Sandstone’s Class 6C locomotive No 544.

The recent cosmetic restoration of 544 at Sandstone has raised a great deal of positive comment.

Les Pivnic sent us this magnificent picture of 544 on shunting duties at Bethlehem loco Depot in its last year of service. Does anyone recognise the fireman leaning out of the cab?
