LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare

Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa331
Ex-MR 0-4-4T No 1427 stands coaled and fully serviced
outside the shed ready for the following morning's turn. The Class 2228
locomotives were fitted with steam heating for the passenger train working on
the line. They were very well received by the men of the former S&MJR but
unfortunately their stay was brief, probably due to low water capacity. Built
as MR No 2627 by Dubbs and Company in September 1900, the locomotive was
renumbered as No 1427 in July 1907 which it retained until July 1935 when it
was withdrawn from 7 Gloucester Barnwood to be scrapped.
