A colourised view of LNWR 18-inch Goods 0-6-0 No 840 stands on a siding adjacent to Willans and Robinson's Victoria Works located on the Rugby to Leamington Line. The original black and white photograph can be seen below. The class were also known officially as the 18 inch Express Goods and unofficially as the Crested Goods or Cauliflower Class, due to the application of the large LNWR crest on the middle splasher in the original livery. Built as LNWR No 840 by Crewe works in September 1895, it was renumbered as LMS No 8375 in September 1928 which it carried until it was withdrawn in October 1932.
