LNWR 0-6-0ST 'Special Tank' No 3196 taking on water from one of Rugby's parachute water tanks. They were a saddle tank version of the LNWR DX Goods class and a total of two hundred and seventy eight locomotives were built from 1870 onwards, of which five survived to be inherited by British Railways in 1948. These five were in departmental stock, four (numbered 3, 6, 7 and 8) as shunters at Wolverton railway works, and No. 3323, a shunter at Crewe Works. They were also widely used as station pilots and empty carriage stock workings. Most retained the distinctive sloping Ramsbottom smokebox front until LMS days. Originally built only with weather boards a few received cabs by the 1890s. and many more by 1912—16. Photographer Henry L Salmon
