Great Western standardisation. It could be one of several classes because the cab layouts are very similar. In fact it's GWR Manor 4-6-0 7828 Odney Manor.

Visiting for the Autumn Gala the engine worked again over the weekend and will finally leave the GCR this week. I never got a firing turn on it but did manage a couple of short cab rides. This one was from the shed to the Up Through which I drove.

The lack of crew is explained by the fact we were still on shed! The signal box can be seen through the driver's window.
