A tale of two Hs!
H class 0-4-4Ts Nº31263 and Nº31551, outside Tunbridge Wells West shed in 1964, are both fully prepared and ready for their next turns of duty on push and pull services. Nº31263 will be working the afternoon through service from Tunbridge Wells West to Three Bridges via East Grinstead.

Another view of the pair of H class 0-4-4Ts, this time taken from inside the shed. A very neat coaling job has been done and it is difficult to see how Nº31551's bunker could hold a single lump more! Note the main signalbox to the left of the picture and the yard cabin in the middle distance between the locomotives.
