Ex-LNWR 1P 2-4-2T '5 foot 6 inch Radial Tank' No 6683 is
seen standing at platform one at the head of a push-pull motor train for
Daventry and Weeden during the summer of 1947. The general run down condition
of the locomotive is evident through the burnt smokebox door and white staining
on the boiler's cladding. Despite looking in a worse condition and being older
than No 46749 this locomotive survived longer in service. Built at Crewe in
July 1893 No 6683 remained in service until February 1953 when it was withdrawn
from Warwick Milverton shed to be scrapped at Crewe the following month.
