    It looks a bit different in the science museum, having been considerably modified over its lifetime, and it's been there since 1862. I think this may be a replica.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    According to wiki it's probably the earliest replica as found in this London & Northwestern postcard.

    Buster Keaton's 1923 replica for the film 'Our Hospitality' in action (edited bits) - youtu.be/gGfShmBnMTs . The tender has only three panels. Grab your popcorn ...

    Here is a shot of the modified version in the Science Museum!
  • Stuart said:
    This is a replica built in the 1920's (1929 I think)? Another working replica was built in 1979. www.nrm.org.uk/OurCollection/LocomotivesAndRollingStock/C...

    LNWR Mail train at Euston c1900


    It's 1395 Archimedes, a Webb Dreadnought class divided drive compound. Note the large cylinder-head cover above the buffer beam.

    She was built at Crewe in 1886 and scrapped in 1904.

    Handsome engines but prone to slipping. You can't see it in the
    picture but these were actually 2-2-2-0 not 2-4-0. The drivers were
    uncoupled. If one pair of drivers slipped it lost that one's share of
    adhesive weight and the other pair slipped almost immediately.

    info from Christopher A Lee abpr

    Thanks to the knowledgeable folk at alt.binaries.pictures.rail

    I think this is dated 1926, and is probably taken during the General Strike. It looks like it says 5/4/26, which makes it the 4th May 1926, second day of the strike.
  • Alan Slingsby said:
    Coach behind engine has "Manchester" sign on it. so it's probably Euston station
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks all, for your research and comments. We will add the date and station information to the data and reload the description.
