Unknown copyright status. The file was originally misidentified (what it depicts was thought to have not existed after 1923), but now we just know that it is before 1946, which isn't good enough. WT79 (talk) 17:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- The Kerr, Stuart & Co locomotive Princess was built in 1900 and scrapped before 1931, as shown in en:Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway. Locomotives are often photographed directly after being commmissioned, and - at least - it looks still young on this photo. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 18:14, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ooops: Now I see that it might be another loco at all. The renaming procedure was apparently hampered by a gap before the brackets. I could find the reference that is mentioned in the renaming request. As it appears to be another loco, I have removed from the article. If it was built in 1902, it has been most likely been photographed and published before 1926. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 18:20, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- No, because the photo was taken on the Snailbeach Rly (according to the source) we know it must have been taken after 1923 (when the loco arrived there) and before 1946 (when the loco was last used). It is not likely to be from the later years, as there was usually not as much traffic then as is portrayed, but we don't know. I'm not an expert on that railway; maybe if there's someone who is they could identify its age more accurately, but I'm assuming copyright to be on the safe side.
