GWR Route: The North Warwickshire Line
GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Hatton
Stratford on Avon Shed: gwrsa1456
British Railways built 2-6-2T 5101 class large prairie No
4161 standing in front of the engine shed on 20th September 1958. The Line in
foreground was laid when the Midland shed was closed in July 1957 to provide
extra storage space in the shed for the transferred locomotives. No 4161 was
built after nationalisation at Swindon Works in September 1948 as part of lot
369. The engines in this lot had a new design of superheaters fitted. Their
main work continued to be local suburban passenger duties in the West Midlands
area, but they were displaced by the introduction of diesel multiple units. No
4161 was withdrawn in November 1965 from Worcester shed (85A) and scrapped in
July 1966 by J Cashmore of Newport.
