41213 1950s Lichfield City
Ivatt ‘2MT’ 2-6-2T No.41213 pictured at Lichfield City was allocated to Walsall Ryecroft from February 1955 to June 1958, but eventually ended up in Devon on the Southern Region at Barnstaple in 1963. There is a very strong probability it was working a Walsall - Lichfield City turn, the 1.59pm from Walsall, returning from Lichfield City (SX) at 4.44pm to Wolverhampton High Level. On Saturdays the train went through to Lichfield Trent Valley station, and then returned as Empty Coaching Stock to City.
