35-51.



35. The back says: No 776 Sir Galagans. No other detail. A reject perhaps because under exposed.

36. The back says: No. 781 Sir Aglovale. No ther detail. A reject perhaps because of the flash of sun.

37. The back says: 17/1/30  865A Def Maunsell tdr [tender]. Up 3.3. 50.Sec 4.5. 50ft. A bit of soft focus on the smokebox door.

38. The back says: at Lent Swaything with white dog. No date, the surrounding pictures are dated 17/1/30. 565 F.C.R.D. up Sals [Salisbury] Spl [special]

39. 26/5/28. 483A [H15] 8F up Mail 4.27. Dull. Inf. 4.5. 25.[Sec]. At Southampton West (see hut).

40. The back says: 3/3/28.  455A Def [Sir Lancelot] 4.5 11.Sec 40ft

41. The back says: 3/3/28 295I OB  Against light 4.5 250. Sec 40ft. This is better exposed than 42, below but the sun has caused a ray across the cab. Does OB mean obsolete, I wonder? Is this the knackers yard?

42.The back says: 3/3/28 652J OB  Against light 4.5 250. Sec 40ft. This print was grossly underexposed because of the backlight which gave the photographer a false light reading. I have remedied it to some extent.

43. The back says: 446B  + 430D 8[?]F6 wtdr[? - with tender?]. 3/3/28. 4.5 100.Sec Inf.

44. The back says: 0522K, 0471, 24/3/28, 25 Sec. 5.6. Inf.

45. The back says: 25.2.28  0486.K OB(?), 050.K. 4.5, 100ft 50 Sec.

46. 30/6/28   413F.8 [wheeled tender?]. Against the light. Inf 4.5 100.Sec

47. The back says: 3/3/28 464D MS.6.[wheeled tender?] 4.5  100 Sec Inf. A D15.

48. The back reads: 24/3/28, 404E (349). 25[Secs] 4.5. Inf. Is the 349 the engine behind?

49. The back reads: 30/6/28. Taken from the moving train. 737A Def [N15], 511 [S15], 398E.[S11] Inf  4.5  100Sec. This photo has caused me to reassess. 100.Sec has to mean 100th second if it is to make sense with taking a photo from a moving train. So earlier exposures might be intended to be a 25th, 50th and 100th of a sec.
.
50. 24/3/28 524A KAF [H15]. 25.Sec  4.5.  Inf  667 is behind, more complete on the original but trimmed out here.

51. Good to see a bit of steam. The back says: 464D [a D15] M.3.6.[6 wheeled tender?]. 4.5. 100.Sec  Inf
