Hampton in Arden - Locomotives: lnwrhia696

LNWR 2F 0-6-0 Cauliflower No 422 is seen at the head of an up Birmingham to Rugby local passenger service in July 1921. The locomotive is remarkable clean although the rear of the tender shows signs of being patched probably to replace a rusted section of plating. Carrying water, and being of riveted construction, tenders were prone to leakages which over a period of time would rust through the steel plate. Built at Crewe works in October 1900 it was allocated the LMS No 8545 in the late 1920s and was finally withdrawn in May 1934 to be scrapped at Crewe works.
