LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Shed: smjsa55a
Close up image 'smjsa55' showing SMJ 0-6-0 No 15 standing on
No 1 road at Stratford on Avon locomotive shed. The handrail standing to the
fore of the locomotive is part the original E&WJR turntable which was
repositioned in 1908 ,the same year that the SMJ was formed. The turntable had
to be repositioned because the 0-6-0s purchased could only access No 1 road due
to the severe curve from the turntable to the other roads to the shed. The new
position was located much further away towards the start of the Broom extension
see image 'smjsa65b'.
