British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 No 92243 raises steam inside Saltley shed's No 3 roundhouse. On the right of its bufferbeam (see images above and below) is a single lamp which according to British Railway's 1962 Train Reporting Codes meant that the locomotive's next turn of work was on a Branch train or stopping freight train and Officers' Special train or ballast train requiring to stop in section. Maximum speed 35 mph. Where fitted vehicles are required to be placed next to the engine and coupled up, this will be shown in the appropriate regional train loading instructions. Built at Crewe works in October 1958, No 92243 remained in service until December 1965 when it was withdrawn from Green Park shed in Bath, on the former Somerset & Dorset Railway.
