Ex-MR 0-6-2T 3P 'Flatiron' No 2015 stands in line with other
locomotives outside the shed on Saturday 15 June 1935. As with classmate No
2014 seen in image 'mrb3' it is thought that No 2015 was unofficially withdrawn
and in store. The 'Flatiron' class was officially classified as being the MR's
'2000' class of which No 2015 was one of forty built at Derby works, this
instance in April 1907. Nearly half of the class were based in the Birmingham
area on withdrawal inluding No 2015 which was withdrawn officially from Saltley
in March 1936 to be scrapped shortly afterwards.
