LMS 2-6-0+0-6-2 Garratt No 7978 is seen in steam stabled on
one of Saltley shed's stabling roads in front of No 3 roundhouse 30th November
1947. In front of No 7978 is a mix of old Midland coaching stock including what
appears to be a Midland six-wheel brake van. The use of old coaching stock for
additional mess or storage facilities was common and they would either be used
to provide additional on-site accommodation or in this instance they might also
be used to accompany Saltley's brake down train.
