An unidentified ex-LNWR 0-8-0 7F 'Super D' locomotive is seen standing cold inside of Coventry's new shed on a Sunday

An unidentified ex-LNWR 0-8-0 7F 'Super D' locomotive is seen standing cold inside of Coventry's new shed on a Sunday. The class were inside cylindered engines and the two 'spigots' seen on the front and under the smokebox door were covers to the piston rods that were designed to hold the pistons parallel within the cylinder. This design feature was once common is the early twentieth century but died out as more accurate machining negated the necessity of the design.
