2135. 'Integrity'.
A fascinating photograph of the LNER's Sentinel/Cammell steam railcar No 2135 'Integrity' leaving Newcastle Central in August 1932.
2135 was built in 1927 and ran for twenty years before being withdrawn in 1947. It was the only example of a two cylinder gear driven Sentinel railcar and was initially built as an experiment but proved successful.
The LNER had a number of different railcars throughout their system - apparently they were more economical than certain classes of tank engines for local and suburban use.
Photographer unknown.
