Caption: Fitting in perfectly with her surroundings (s steam-era roundhouse, and restored turntable) London & South Western Railway 563 'Vicky' (a T3-class 4-4-0 passenger steam engine originally built in 1892, and retired in 1945) is spun around on the ex-CPR John Street Roundhouse turntable, in preparation for being put away inside the roundhouse. TRHA's CLC-Whitcomb center-cab switcher 1 is seen doing the honours.
At the time, L&SWR 563 had been loaned for 'The Railway Children' production being put on in a tent set up on the Toronto Railway Museum's grounds, and was moved around by the TRHA's switcher during and after the production. Its current home is at the Swanage Railway in the UK.
