3205 Caddaford 11 August 1999

2251 Class 0-6-0 3205 runs beside the River Dart at Caddaford on 11 August 1999, en-route from Buckfastleigh to Totnes. The South Devon Railway was operating an intensive timetable, in order to cope with all the visitors who happened to be in the area for the total solar eclipse. 3205 is the sole survivor of a class of 120 locomotives that were built initially by the GWR and later by BR, between 1930 and 1948. They were virtually a direct replacement for the very long lived 'Dean Goods' 0-6-0s.
