The lurgi was worse than I thought - I had already scanned this :rolleyes: Real Photos, ref 31065. Pat
Nine Elms Loco. Probably nearly new, say 1920/21. Colourised by our internet wizard I believe. The coal shed was an iconic backdrop very popular...
The rebuilding in the 1930's did alter their appearance somewhat - they lost the wooden leading buffer beam in favour of steel. The front of the...
