LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

E&WJR and SMJ - Locomotives and Rolling Stock: smjsa74

View of the front of SMJ 0-6-0 No 15 as it stands on one of the roads outside the shed on 11th April 1924. One of three locomotives of the same design delivered by Beyer Peacock between 1903-6 for the E&WJR this design shared the boiler, cylinders and motion as SMJ 2-4-0T No 13. Unlike the 2-4-0T locomotives the 0-6-0s had only the vacuum brake. The purchase of the three 0-6-0s enabled the E&WJR to dispense with the services of the ex-LNWR 'DX' class locomotives and to speed up the through goods traffic.
