Coventry Shed: lnwrcov656

View of Coventry's British Railways built shed now being used to store condemned locomotives including in this view three ex-LMS 2P 4-4-0 locomotives circa 1960. The storage line once used for the depot's coal wagons can be seen running next to the shed whilst alongside this line is another with what appears to be 57' brake. The London Midland and Scottish Railway Class 2P 4-4-0 was a class of steam locomotive designed for light passenger work. The class was introduced in 1928 and was a post-grouping development of the Midland Railway 483 Class with modified dimensions and reduced boiler mountings. The numbering continued from where the Midland engines left off at 563 and eventually reached 700. 138 were built, though numbering is slightly complicated by renumbering and transfers.
