Thanks David.
The Churchill is a bridgelayer conversion. You can see the massive low pressure hydraulic cylinder and part of the very long ram rod on top of the tank at the extreme right of the photo. Also part of the bridge launching structure on the front of the tank directly above the loco smokebox. The top of the fighting compartment seems to have been cut out, there was originally a slightly raised commander's position with vision ports where the turret had originally been. By 1981 when I was there there were no remnants of steam locos to be seen.
