Ex-LNWR 1P 2-4-2T No 6660, sometimes referred to as a 5 foot 6 inch radial tank engine, is seen running through the up platform in the wrong direction

Ex-LNWR 1P 2-4-2T No 6660, sometimes referred to as a 5 foot 6 inch radial tank engine, is seen running through the up platform in the wrong direction circa 1947. In all probability No 6660 was running around the coaches it had brought in to platform from Coventry and was in the process of coupling up at the opposite in order to return. Built at Crewe in June 1893, No 6660 remained in service for only a few months after this photograph was taken being withdrawn from Nuneaton shed, whose shed plate she carries, in September 1947.
