LNWR 1P 2-4-0 Precedent class No 1672 'Talavera' is seen standing at the up platform on a Stafford to Rugby local passenger service circa 1922. Behind the locomotive 'perched' on the embankment, is the MR's down waiting room which was a basic timber framed affair constructed on timber piles and clad in timber. Built at Crewe works in February 1890 No 1672 was renumbered in March 1928 by the LMS as No 5018 and remained in service until December 1932 when it was withdrawn from Rugby shed for scrapping by Crewe works.
