LMS Route: Birmingham West Suburban Railway

Bournville Shed: mrb1531

Withdrawn ex-MR 2F 0-6-0 No 58126 is seen at Bournville on a short siding near the main line on a rather grey looking day, Friday 1st June 1956. Damage to the frame can be seen in the photo, probably sustained when it fell into the turntable pit in the roundhouse. Its demise left the shed without a vacuum fitted 2F, but not for long, as a replacement engine was soon transferred from Saltley. For an atmospheric photo of No 58126 leaving the shed in happier circumstances see image 'mrb670'.
