These two pictures were taken at Great Rock sidings. The middle saloon shows the stillage used to mix the Sandite, some empty sandite powder buckets, and to the right, the air tanks that were used as air reservoirs to deposit the liquid sandite onto the rail head. Paul Moxon

Despite being renumbered many years previously, the cab still showed signs of its previous identity. Paul Moxon
