LNWR 2-4-0 Precedent class No 514 'Puck' is seen standing at Platform 2 in company with an unidentified LNWR 4-4-0 Precursor class locomotive

LNWR 2-4-0 Precedent class No 514 'Puck' is seen standing at Platform 2 in company with an unidentified LNWR 4-4-0 Precursor class locomotive standing at Platform Three circa 1920. The single lamp in the centre of the bufferbeam is the code for a light engine which together with a full tender of coal indicates the locomotive has only just reversed on to the train. Built at Crewe works in 1880 and rebuilt in December 1895, No 514 was named 'Lawrence' in December 1895 which it carried until August 1913. Following the change of name to 'Puck', No 514 remained in service until August 1926 when the locomotive was finally withdrawn from service without receiving its allocated LMS number.
