00 Gauge BR Hawsworth Auto-trailer and 64XX Pannier Tank.

The last type of  purpose built Push pull trailers introduced on the Western Region was the Hawksworth Diagram A38 
Built in 1951 these used GWR practises but after nationalisation.
Below is  6417 0-6-0 Pannier Tank as the motive power for this service. The prototype 6417 was shedded for many years at Laira, the final shed being Aberdare before being scrapped in June 1959. A better identity would be 6420 that was allocated to St Blazey at one point.
