Summary

Description
English: The unique GWR 'Saint' 4-6-0 with poppet valves.
One of the 1911 series of Churchward 'Saint' 4-6-0's, No. 2935 'Caynham Court' was rebuilt in 5/31 experimentally with rotary-cam poppet valves and retained these until withdrawn in 12/48. Here in 1946 it is waiting to leave Swindon with the 13.23 stopping train to Paddington. [One of my earliest photographs].
