Ex-MR 0-6-2T 'Flatiron' No 2035 stands in front of an unidentified classmate. The nickname 'Flatiron' was derived from the long side tanks as it was said they helped the locomotive to resemble an old fashioned solid metal iron known at the time as a flatiron. Number 2035 was built at Derby works in August 1907 and nearly lasted 29 years in service being withdrawn from Saltley shed in February 1936 and scrapped shortly afterwards. 24th August 1935
