Birmingham New Street - Pre-grouping Locomotives: lnwrbns_pg439

Close up of image "lnwrbns_pg454" with LNWR 2-2-2 No 1816 is seen standing light engine prior to shunting passenger stock. As can just be seen, early LNWR practice had the smokebox door " top hung" rather than side opening as was later the practice. Needless to say this practice was awkward when cleaning the ash as well as being inefficient in maintaining its ability to be air tight.
