Report Date Title Report Source
30/11/1946 General East Kent Railway No. 5 (L.S.W.R. Adams 4-4-2T), which was recently returned to the S.R., has not been cut up, as was recently reported elsewhere. lt has heen overhauled and has reappeared as No. 3488. (The old L.S.W.R. number being 0488). It is presiunably a third engine for the Lyme Regis branch in company with Nos, 3125 and 3520 SLS/194701
31/07/1949 Adams 4-4-2T\'s Of the three surviving Adams 4-4-2T's, No. 30584 (ex 3520) is repainted, with 'British Railways' on the tank sides, No. 30582 (ex 3125) is painted black and fully lined, without lettering, •whilst No. 3488 (ex E.K.R. No. 5) is still running in 'Southern' style. No. 3488 now carries a Drummond boiler, probably off No. 3520, while Nos. 30582/84 both cary the Adams pattern again. No. 30584 has a tall dome and No. 30582, the smaller variety. The three locomotives normally work a week at a time in turn on the Lyme Regis branch, the other two standing 'spare' at Exmouth Junction shed. The change-over is carried out on Saturdays, and an interesting working at present (during the summer service) is that the relieving locomotive runs 'light' to Seaton, working the 10.10 a.m. from Seaton to Seaton Junction-all through coaches to Waterloo-later attaching this train to the rear of the 9.10 a.m. Exmouth-Waterloo. The locomotive then runs 'light' to Axminster, where it stands as relief to the one finishing its week's spell of duty; the actual change-over taking place later in the day. SLS/194908
