Coventry Shed: lnwrcov650
British Railways built Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T No 41236 stands on
road 3 outside the original shed whilst an unidentified ex-LMS 0-6-0 4F stands
on road 4. Whilst an LMS design it was in fact built as No 41236 at at Crewe
works in September 1949 and remained in service until October 1962 when it was
withdrawn from Llandudno Junction shed to be scrapped by J Cashmore of Great
Bridge. There was an art in bunking Coventry shed (2F). Enter between rows 3
and 4, ask for permission to go round the shed at the foreman's office at the
rear, if refused depart via rows 1 and 2 and you've seen the lot apart from
anything at the coaling stage or turntable. Permission was usually given
though.
