This close up of image "lnwrhiaj707" shows a LNWR locomotive
standing in the Midland Railway portion of the station on a southbound service
whilst a MR Kirtley 0-6-0 stands in Hampton or Derby Junction station facing
towards Whitacre. The LNWR locomotive is probably an 0-6-0 DX class locomotive
and has it's smokebox door hung downwards from a point three-quarters of the
way up the smoke box barrel unlike the late practice where the whole door
opened from the side. The Midland Railway green-liveried outside-framed Kirtley
0-6-0 would have looked resplendent as this predated the period when Midland
Railway locomotives became more associated with Midland or Crimson Lake
livery.
