LMS Route: Birmingham West Suburban Railway

Bournville: mrb15

Ex-MR 0-6-0 outside curved framed No 22863 stands outside the shed on Sunday 27th July 1947. The smokebox number plate is missing and the numbers have been crudely painted on to the smokebox door. Number 22863 was originally numbered 1063 when built by the MR as a member of its 700 class by Dubbs & Co in 1874 and survived long enough to be allocated the running number 58113 although it was never applied prior to its withdrawal from Bournville shed in January 1949 to be scrapped at Derby works circa 1949.
