47437 1960-07-14 Wellingborough
The LMS version of the 3F 0-6-0T was built in quantity between with 422 produced between 1924 and 1931. No.47437 was built by the Hunslet Engineering Company in 1927 as LMS No.16520 and went to Wellingborough from new. At the date of this photograph, 14th July 1960, it was allocated to Kentish Town and was newly outshopped from Derby so it was presumably en route back to London. No.47437 was unique in the class as the only engine with four bar coal rails, although a few others working at Beeston sidings in Nottingham had six bars. It was withdrawn in August 1966.
