'Ready For The Off', Didcot Railway Centre, Oxfordshire

            Taken at a 'Timeline Events' event, this image shows one of the steam engines, part of the Didcot Railway Centre collection, along with some re-enactors dressed in period clothes.

6998 ‘Burton Agnes Hall’ emerged from Swindon Works in January 1949, going initially to Cardiff's Canton depot. She survived until withdrawal by BR from Oxford in January 1966 after being honoured as the engine chosen to work the Western Region's last steam-hauled passenger train. The locomotive was purchased by the Great Western Society in 1966 for the sum of £2.500 and on 2 April worked light engine under her own steam from Oxford. She was withdrawn from service in 1996 and is stored complete awaiting its turn in the queue for overhaul.
