Great Western Railway Collett King Class 4-6-0 6011 King James I was withdrawn with the other Kings, with the exception of 6018, in December 1962 and is seen outside Swindon Work’s A Shop. The boiler paintwork is looking a bit tatty after 5 months in store but the engine, complete with number and nameplates, still looks in great shape.
