60. LSWR number 736 was later taken over by the King Arthur class Escalibur. Peter Smart says: one of the C14 class motor tanks. Your photo shows No 736 when new and painted in photographic grey at Nine Elms on 28th September 1906.
61. The collection contains a few dock scenes. The prints are very poor: we are seeing them here as CH would have loved to see them but never did. The back of this reads: 1/2/28, H&D. 680. Mauritania in the Floating Dry Dock. 4.5.25occ. Inf. Over exposed. Photographic code crackers, let me know. I have cured the over-exposure.
62. The following two were very pale and underexposed - again I have corrected them.
Hello. I am interested in the LSWR No. 736 photo. This would be identical to No. 739 which worked at the Central Ammunition Depot in Bramley 1917-21. I am currently completing the first comprehensive history of CAD Bramley & its Railway and would love to include the photo of 736 (I've been unable to source one of 739). Would you be agreeable subject to appropriate credit? Kind regards, Chris. PS. I can be contacted at bramleymr@outlook.com
