Francis Webbs LNWR Coal Tank 1054 The sole survivor

Came across this old picture of 1054

 

 

and it reminded me of my first time seeing the

engine when it was giving brake van rides at

the old Dinting Railway Centre back in the

mid eighties, below a scan from a post card

 

Now of course it is resident at Ingrow Loco and we

have the pleasure of seeing it regularly.

The London and North Western Railway  (LNWR) Webb Coal Tank is a class of 0-6-2T steam locomotive. They were called "Coal Tanks" because they were a side tank version of Webb's standard 17 in Coal Engine, an 0-6-0 tender engine for slow freight trains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here an example of the 0-6-0 coal engine from which

the coal tank developed. This taken at Wolverhampton
