Another view of ex-LNWR 2-4-2T No 46757 standing at Harborne
station's disused platform on 3rd June 1950 whilst at the head of the SLS
special. Interestingly the lamp over the buffer is a tail lamp with a red lens
meaning that in all probability the train was configured as a push-pull
service. The push-pull configuration allowed the locomotive to remain
permanently at one end of the train for both directions of travel. When the
train was to be driven with locomotive at the rear, as seen above, the driver
would operate the train via controls located in a special drivers' cabin
located in the last vehicle (see image 'lnwroffch1451a') for such an example.
