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 Built at Crewe works in May 1893 No 6650 remained in service until just before the railways were nationalised being withdrawn during August 1947 from Llandudno Junction shed to be scrapped shortly afterwards at Crewe works.
