E&WJR 2-4-0T No 6 stands outside Stratford upon Avon
shed prior to being reboilered in 1907-8. When reboilered the safety valves,
which are seen above on the dome, were moved to on top of the firebox. Built
new for the E&WJR by Beyer Peacock in 1885, this was the second locomotive
to carry the number 6, the other being built in 1873 and returned with five
other locomotives to the manufacturer at an unknown date to be sold on by them
to the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. This locomotive remained in service
until 1916 when it was sold to the War Department.
