Lucky old 61668 " Bradford City " must have been a good one as she was the very last of the class to survive , remaining in service until as late as August of 1960 .
During the mid 'fifties there had been seventy of the original " B 17 "design and later " B2 " rebuilds in service but by the start of 1960 that total had been reduced to a total of just seventeen as inroads were made into condemning those remaining , with this one being the very last , surviving eight years after the first withdrawal of 61628 in 1952.
The nameplate with its bronze half football shows up well ,as does the Westinghouse air pump
