34010 Sidmouth - West Country class

5th October 2008

A collection of photos from various sources showing 34010 Sidmouth, a Southern Railway West Country class loco. Please note that most of the attached photos are not my copyright, and are individually marked either on each photo or in its Filename. My thanks to the copyright holders.

I have a general website about 34010 Sidmouth including information on its working life, current status and restoration:

Sidmouth is awaiting restoration by Southern Locomotives Ltd, based in Swanage. You can contribute to its restoration by buying shares in SLL. For more details please go to:

To encourage interest in Sidmouth's restoration I'd like to gather more photos in this collection. It seems to have had a relatively low profile career, and any contributions such as photos or reminiscences would be appreciated. If you can help me please contact at nicksidmouth@gmail.com

Feb 2009: SLL have provided me with some additional photos of Sidmouth.
