Midland 0-6-4T No 2038 is seen soon after arrival in the
yard at Bournville on 31st August 1919. It would have been painted in the
Midland's passenger engine livery of lined crimson lake. The railwayman posing
with his shovel at the back of the engine is the one seen on the footplate of
No 3425 (see image 'mrb11a'). He was probably
responsible for the disposal of arrivals that day. Built at Derby in 1907, No
2038 is still in original condition, fitted with saturated 'H1' round top
boiler, side tanks extending the full length of the boiler & with only two
spectacle plates at the front of the cab. Bournville was probably its home
depot in 1919 and definitely was so in 1920. Despite being rebuilt in 1926 the
engine was withdrawn from service in August 1935.
Links to other photos taken on 31st August 1919 are 'mrb8', 'mrb11', 'mrb13', 'mrb484'.
