The main image is of 18100 at Bristol on April 5th 1952 having brought in the Merchant Venturer. There are images available of the locomotive in front of The Bristolian and in the works at Metro-Vickers in Manchester. Nearby are images of 18100 in retirement having been "stored" on a disused section
