504 1920s Neasden

504 1920s Neasden

That would be no. 2 road and you can just make out the window of the shed masters office, behind the water bag on the column.

Peter Kerslake says "Looking absolutely magnificent with burnished beading and coupling rods in what must be her new L.N.E.R. livery and in company with an equally pristine sister engine also visible "Jutland" strangely still bears her impressive former Great Central 504 cabside cast number plate although she became 5504 in L.N.E.R. ownership, so this must be a photograph very soon after passing into new ownership in 1923, I suspect, and before she was renumbered 5504.
The ninth of the eleven "Improved Directors" introduced by John Robinson from December of 1919, built in November of 1922 and later becoming 62668 in British Railways ownership, "Jutland" was condemned in November of 1960.
She has a crest under her nameplate which looks like the standard GCR one, perhaps someone can confirm this, and she has her builders' plate above the trailing bogie wheel."
