Ex-MR 1F '480 class' 0-6-0 No 22567 stands with other stored locomotives next to the Engine Repair Shop on 27th Aug 1938. In all probability No 22567, built by Dubbs & Company circa 1868, would have been withdrawn earlier than September 1946 when it was withdrawn from Coventry shed. The intervention of the Second World War resulted in a large number of engines receiving a stay of execution to help meet the increased demands on the railways. This outside-curved frame locomotive, with all of its springs located above and outside the running plate was designed by M Kirtley.
