A teenage enthusiast looks from the cab of condemned ex-LMS 8F 2-8-0 No 48690 some three months after Saltley shed had closed to steam on Saturday March 4th 1967. Built as LMS No 8690 by Brighton works in March 1944, No 48690 was withdrawn from service in March 1967 from 2E Saltley shed to be scrapped by J Cashmore of Great Bridge.
