LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Kings Norton LMS period: mrknlms234

LMS 3P Stanier 2-6-2T No 92 is seen on a local passenger train. These were the least successful Stanier design because unfortunately Derby was allowed to design the internal draughting of the cylinders and valves. Despite fitting larger boilers they still had a reputation as being poor steamers. C1937 Number 92 was built at Crewe works in May 1935 and despite its poor reputation still survived until May 1961 when it was withdrawn from Leicester (GC) shed in May 1961.
