The photo shows it to have acquired a roof not shown on the drawing below. It was noted as being at Bunbury in 1903, Midland Workshops in 1924 and Midland Junction Loco in 1935. Whilst at Bunbury, Septembr 1903, it was involved in a serious accident reported in the Bunbury Herald. I have no details of its disposal. |
