08641_1973_07_Laira

            Looking through the shoe box of negatives of the colour print films taken of my family over the last thirty years I realised that there were also five strips of 126 black and white negatives from a Kodak Instamatic  camara. To my surprise these turned out to be railway shots which I can not remember taking or ever having had any prints from. I have been able to work out that the 126 negatives date from my week long 1973 Western Region Railrover holiday in July 1973 and here we have stabled at the side of the shed at Laira 3808 (08641), 7th July 1973.

Locomotive History
3808 was built at Horwich works and entered traffic in January 1959 allocated to St Phillips Marsh MPD. Its stay at Bristol was short and two months later it transferred to Newport Ebbw Junction. The next ten years were to be in South Wales with spells at Newport Pill, Cardiff Cathays and Llanelly. It transferred to Newton Abbott in May 1971, Penzance in 1979 and Plymouth Laira in 1982 where it has remained ever since and is currently (January 2014) the depot pilot operated by First Great Western.
