the LNWR rides again

super d class 0-8-0 49395 near glyndyfrdwy with a demonstration freight banked by a great western large prairie tank

built at crewe in june 1921 it is one of the few surviving examples of a locomotive of the london and north western railway , the super d gained it's title simply because it was a superheated class d loco

these locos were none too popular with non lnwr crews unused to working on them , and were sometimes called "stupid d's"
