Ex-LNWR 1P 2-4-2T No 6650 is seen at the head of a two-coach
Rugby to Leamington local passenger service. The bottom of the smoke box door
has its paint burnt indicating that it has had a draughting problem, probably a
few blocked flues which has led to 'char' lying at the bottom of the smokebox
causing it to overheat and blister and burn the outside paint work. Built at
Crewe works in May 1893 No 6650 remained in service until just before the
railways were nationalised being withdrawn during August 1947 from Llandudno
Junction shed to be scrapped shortly afterwards at Crewe works.
