This post has gained priority because it was requested by a member. The request was for a list of all postcards featuring GWR 1442 which is preserved in the Tiverton Museum in Devon. The attached listing shows five postcards but made from only three different images. When Dr Beeching closed Tiverton station in the 1960’s one of the tank engines that worked the lines from Exeter. Bampton and Tiverton Junction was mounted beside the road close to the site of the station. When the new town museum was built the loco was relocated to it’s own inside gallery where it can be visited today. The museum is only about 100 meters from the alignment of the old line to Exeter which is now a road. When I visited the museum in 2014 it was selling the Unichrome postcard.
The full listing can be seen by clicking on this link:
If you are aware of any further postcards of 1442 we’d be delighted to hear from you.
The museum only has the one loco but has a wide variety of other social history exhibits and is well worth a visit.
