STATION PILOT SHEFFIELD

On our school visit to Derby works we had to change trains at Sheffield Midland. Whilst waiting to continue our journey on the up Devonion I took this shot.

The locomotive is an ex LMS 3P 2-6-2T, Staniers taper boilered version of a previous Fowler parallel boilered design.

For some reason these loco's were genreally regarded as underboilered and therefore not all that popular. "Not strong enough to pull pussy of the nest" would possibly cover their predicament.
