Time Capsules - Old Photographs from the past

A pleasant sunlit photograph. This was one of Webb's LNWR Coal Tanks. LMS 7752 was built in 1886 and in 1948 was based at Sutton Oak (10E). The 0-6-2T was withdrawn from Abergavenny (86K) in 1952, re-numbered 58913. 300 of these locomotives were built and 64 survived into BR service. While originally designed for freight workings, the locomotives proved very useful on local passenger trains and were the mainstay of many branch lines until the arrival of the Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2Ts after World War II. A single loco, LNWR 1054, has been preserved and now resides on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway
