LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

E&WJR and SMJ - Locomotives and Rolling Stock: smjsa374

E&WJR 0-6-0 No 14 stands 'wrong road' on the up platform carrying Class 6 headlamps

E&WJR 0-6-0 No 14 stands 'wrong road' on the up platform carrying Class 6 headlamps in 1922. The engines delivered were an updated version of those which went before, but with Belpaire fireboxes, straight footplates and 4foot 9 inch wheels. Following on from No 13, these were also delivered in blue. Cylinders and motion were the same as for the 2-4-0, as was for the most part the boiler and firebox. These locos were not fitted with air brakes, being vacuum only, and allowed the displacement of the DX goods on through goods trains: at least on paper. Built by Beyer Peacock for the E&WJR in 1903 it was classified by the LMS with a '2F' power rating and given the running number 2007 which it retained until withdrawn in 1926.
