LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Kings Norton Locomotives: mrkn784
Ex-MR 0-6-0 3F No 43521 stands at rest at the West Suburban
Railway up platform at Kings Norton on 28th December 1954. One of Bournville
shed's freight locomotives, the Midland 3Fs were well liked by their crews and
frequently found themselves pressed into performing passenger duties too. A
member of the MR's 1873 class No 43521 was built by Neilson & Company in
1897 and remained in service until July 1963 when it was withdrawn from 17A
Derby shed to be scrapped in the same month by Derby works.
