Another view of ex-LNWR 'Experiment' 4-6-0 No 5461 'City of London' standing on the roads outside the shed on 15th October 1932. The class of one hundred and five locomotives were an extended version of the Whale's Precursor Class 4-4-0, with slightly smaller driving wheels. The first of the class, No 66 Experiment was built in 1905 with the remaining one hundred and five locomotives being constructed up until 1910. The LNWR reused numbers and names of withdrawn locomotives, with the result that the numbering system was completely haphazard.
