Ex-LNWR 1P 2-4-2T No 46749 is seen standing at platform one at the head of a motor fitted two-coach local passenger train to Weeden. These tanks were also known as 5' 6" radial tanks reflecting Webbs method of guiding the leading and trailing axles and the size of the driving wheels. Built at Crewe works in May 1897 No 46749 was over 50 years old by the time this photograph was taken with little time left as it was withdrawn from Warwick Milverton shed in February 1952 and scrapped later in the year.
