GWR 2807 Gallery


The 2807 gallery contains a collection of images from 2807's history and more recently from 2807's restoration. There's some videos of restoration. And also an audio file of a 2-8-0 locomotive.

PHOTOGRAPHS AND OTHER IMAGES

There are two ways to view the image gallery.

  1. The whole gallery of images can be displayed on a single page. Please bear in mind that using this method the images will appear as they are downloaded, but it may take several minutes to download all of the images, depending on your connection speed.

  2. The images are linked in a chain, with each image having links to the previous and next image. So from the first image, you can link right through the chain to the last image, displaying one image (or occasionally two) at a time.
2807 - 11 October 1936
