    6695 I would say Swanage.
    2nd 6619 is Didcot shed, but sure if it is 6619 or 6697.
    3rd 6619 again looks like Didcot near the turntable on the "branch line".

    Hi Neil, excellent photos again, I have a browse around your photo site every now and again as there is always something fascinating to find. :thumb: :D

    6695 at Swanage, just arrived with a train and preparing to run-round.

    This is definitly 6697 in Didcot shed.

    This is 6619 on "The Branch" at Didcot in May 1985 during the GWR 150 event.
