LNWR 2-2-2 Problem Class No 1428 'Eleanor' is standing, in final rebuilt condition and with crosshead vacuum pump, on the up through line at Rugby in about 1900. The larger boilers with circular smokebox doors resulted in the class needing to being fitted with slightly shorter chimneys to stay within the loading gauge. Generally paired with the standard Webb 1800 gallon tender they can occasionally be seen with the 1500 gallon type. This photograph can be obtained from the LNWR Society by quoting LNWRS DNR100 |
