The steam locomotive belonged (and still belongs) to Bristol Harbour Railway - an offshoot of Bristol Industrial Museum located next to the yard. The Museum were helping out their neighbour Western Fuel Co. when Western Fuel's diesel shunter was being repaired following a breakdown. The yard has since closed.

And then it was bought by the Bristol industrial Museum then rebranded to the M shed But during the Bristol industrial Museum times they got another peckett that engine was in the back of the shed his name was portbury So for then on it’s been like that

Portbury isn’t a peckett. It’s an Avonside B4 built in 1917 for the inland waterways and docks company which numbered it 34

wonderfully atmospheric-in a way the lack of sound even adds a dream like quality

I did see a 125 waiting at Temple Meads but there were still Western Hydraulics and class 50s so I'd say late seventies to early eighties.

Great to see how it use to be. And a steam shunter on the mainline the same time as a HST........!

The steam shunter is not on the mainline, it is on a small private branch.

@@bristolbeezer9197 It's on the mainline at Bristol Railway station and Bristol Bath Road depot. Those areas are not a private branch.

I Remember sometimes when the coal was wet from heavy rain the poor old steam engine could just get by.
