GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Warwick: gwrw382

Ex-GWR 2-6-0 43xx class Mogul No 7301 passes through the station on a down one-coach railcar trailer service in June 1951. Built by R Stephenson in December 1921 it remained in service until September 1962 when it was withdrawn from Bristol Street shed, Philips Marsh to be scrapped in November 1962 at Swindon works. Not all of the locomotive ended up as scrap iron as one of the cabside plates was purchased by Malcolm Garner, a visitor to the website, when the locomotive was scrapped.
