Scan of a slide taken in 1993; I assume that this is Toddington. This was my one and only visit (so far at least) to the Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway and was a snatched mid-week visit after a day in our Cheltenham branch office. 'Byfield' was at that time resident at the GWR and I've lifted a history of the loco from the internet:
"This locomotive was built in 1942 by W G Bagnall to help the war effort in ironstone quarries around Northamptonshire.
In 1944 Byfield was transferred to Banbury and was there until 1947 when it was transferred to Kettering where it was renamed Loddington and given the number 2. The locomotive remained in the area for many years until it was sold to Hunt & Co at Hinkley in 1970 which gained it a new livery, blue.
Byfield was rescued from Hinkley by enthusiasts for restoration and use on the Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway in the 1980s. It was withdrawn after its boiler expired in 1990. Byfield was then purchased by the Plym Valley Railway and moved to Marsh Mills in 2002.
It is currently having a complete overhaul before it can be used again."
Scan of a slide taken in 1993; another industrial tank loco that has since moved on from the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway.
"This locomotive was built in 1952 by the Hunslet Engine Company to the design used to supply to the Ministry of Defence and is thus regarded as an Austerity type locomotive.
From the works it was delivered to NCB Baggeridge Colliery, near Wolverhampton, where it worked alongside Hunslet locomotive 3777 which is also preserved.
By March 1968 when the pit closed it had moved to Hilton Main Colliery where it became No 8. The locomotive is likely to have left Baggeridge a few years earlier as diesels were in use there from around 1965.
In September 1968 it was moved to Granville Colliery before going to Cannock Wood Colliery by July 1970. By January 1971 it was at West Cannock Colliery and in February 1977 it was to be found at Bickershaw Colliery.
In preservation it has travelled widely, starting off on the East Lancs. Railway, before moving to the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway. Whilst at the East Lancs Railway it was given the name Sir Ropert Peel."
Following its spell on the GWR the loco was initially purchased by the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway, It was then bought by John Marrows and moved to the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway in December 2000.

"2807 is-
The oldest survivor of the class
The oldest locomotive built by the GWR preserved privately (two older surviving GWR locomotives, the Deans Goods built in 1897, and City of Truro built in 1903, are both in the national collection).
The oldest locomotive saved from Woodham Brothers scrapyard
2807 was completed in October 1905. Following early shed allocations to Westbourne Park and Old Oak Common in the Paddington area, in 1911 2807 embarked upon eight years of coal traffic in South Wales, operating first from Aberdare and later Pontypool Road.
The First World War saw 2807 performing on the famous “Jellicoe Specials”, hauling Welsh steam coal destined for the Grand Fleet at Scappa Flow. GWR 2800 class engines worked the South Wales to Lancashire section of this round the clock service.
After the First World War, 2807 moved to Bristol and later, in 1924 to Tyseley, from where it is believed to have frequently visited the Stratford – Cheltenham main line, passing through Broadway, Toddington and Winchcombe.
The locomotive was rescued in June 1981 by its current owners, Cotswold Steam Preservation Limited (C.S.P.). In 1981 2807 was moved to Toddington railway station on the Gloucester Warwickshire Railway to become the first steam locomotive on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. It was restored to steam in 2010.
Whilst visiting the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in 2016 it suffered a boiler tube failure which resulted in the tube being plugged at both ends to temporarily seal the failure and allowed the locomotive to operate.
Although a new tube was subsequently fitted, there are fears that the failure could be a sign that the other boiler tubes could also fail in the short-term. As the engine was already seven years into its 10-year ticket it was known that if there were any further problems, a decision on whether to withdraw the locomotive for a full heavy general overhaul would be required. Plans were developed to mitigate the risk.
2807 was taken out of service in January 2017 but returned to traffic the following year.
The boiler certificate expired in November 2019 but its life was extended for a short period. Its last day in service was the 1st January 2020. When taken out of service the locomotive had travelled over 42,000 miles since it was returned to steam in 2010."

Scan of a slide taken in 1993 and another loco that has moved on from the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway. No 50-021 'Rodney' worked its last train for BR in December 1989 and was withdrawn in April 1990 due to power unit damage,
After its withdrawal, 50021 was initially stored at the Mid-Hants Railway, before moving to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway where it remained 1995.
Scan of a slide taken in 1993; so far I seem only to have uploaded snaps of locos that have since moved on from the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway and here are another two.
The class 03 is now at the Vale of Berkeley railway and their website gives the following history:
"Class 03 diesel shunters were once British Rail’s (BR) most successful 0-6-0 diesel-mechanical shunters and very common in yards all over the country due to their lightweight and short wheel base making them ideal for tight radius curves. 230 were built in the Doncaster and Swindon locomotive works between 1957 and 1962. Later as the need for these shunters diminished on the railway network, many continued useful working lives in Industry. Today almost all of these shunters can be found at heritage railways with at least 56 examples surviving into preservation.
D2069 was finished on the 19th September 1959 and under TOPS became 03069 in October 1973. It was sold to Vic Berry of Leicester 4th January 1984 for use in their scrapyard, then later sold into preservation, on closure of the yard 1st August 1991 to the Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway at Toddington."
Just in shot is an ex-BR Class 14 and I think this is probably No. D9539. If so the loco is now at the Ribble Valley Railway.
