Close up of image 'lnwr_oldmil1451' showing the driver-trailer coach in action with the driver at the controls and standing at the middle window. Its interesting to see that that the driving position required the driver to stand and not sit therefore replicating the same position in the locomotive. The second person in the driving cab is probably another railway worker and would not have been the fireman as he would have remained in the locomotive. All three windows are half open indicating it must be a reasonably warm day. Modellers might wish to note the two vacuum pipes on the front and the three visors over the windows.
