4646 1965c Birmingham Snow Hill
One of the later ‘57xx’ Panniers, usually known as the ‘8750’ class, which had an improved cab with larger windows, No.4646 is passing the ‘Western Pullman’ in Platform 5 as it trundles over the scissors crossover for the Up platforms. It was at Stourbridge Junction throughout the 1950s and was transferred to Tyseley in July 1966, only four months before withdrawal which actually came at Wrexham shed.
It should be noted that the withdrawal of the last 3 'Pannier' tanks (4646, 4696, 9774, w.e. 12th Nov. 1966) rendered extinct the running stock of the former G.W.R. -with the exception of the N.G. V. of R. engines.
