Although the loco was rebuilt in 1904, we cannot trace any further rebuilding in 1916 as shown on this plate, although Stratford were well known for their liberal interpretation of what constituted a rebuild. The loco was at St Margarets by 1948 and later at Aberdeen Ferryhill and Kittybrewster before returning to England in 1952, first at Lincoln, then Norwich, Plaistow and Stratford from where it was withdrawn on 8 May 1958 and cut up at Stratford Works. Cast brass, 9"x5", the front repainted. £200-350 |
