Letting off Steam = Number 2
73129 was outshopped from Derby Works in August 1956. It was one of 30 built fitted with Caprotti valve gear. Originally allocated at Shrewsbury Shed (which required the fitting of GWR style lamp brackets), it was later transferred to Patricroft Shed (near Manchester) in 1958. It spent the rest of its working life there until it was stored at Patricroft from June to November 1967. It was officially withdrawn from traffic on 2 December 1967. This photo was taken at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway, October 2005,
