LMS Route: Water Orton to Walsall

Sutton Park: mrspk343a

Ex-LMS 'Stanier' 2-6-4T No 42604, of '3C' Saltley shed, stands with the air shimmering from the chimney and steam ejecting from its cylinders ready to depart for Walsall. Number 42604 was one of the numerous class 4MT locomotives that worked the line. Built by the North British Locomotive Company in December 1936 it lasted in service until withdrawn from Aston shed in May 1965 to be scrapped by J Cashmore of Great Bridge in Oct 1965.
