GWR 6619 at Embsay station on the Yorkshire Dales Railway

A lovely engine and with as has been commented
on in National-Preservation.com what sounds like
an A4 chime whistle
 
 
It was always great to go along to the YDR and see
this loco on duty

 
I used to visit family in a small suburb of Cardiff
as a youngster and you could always see this class
around there as they were the Great Westerns answer
the poor motive power on the South Wales lines when
they took them over in 1924. There were a good many
of the 5600 class built to serve this coal trade
