    4901 at Snow Hill
    Standing under the fine high roof at Birmingham Snow Hill immaculate 4901 Adderley Hall presents a picture that could have been taken in GWR days.
    It is 09.36 on the morning of 21st September 1958, sunlight streams from the roof creating shafts of light through the steamy atmosphere.
    4901 was built in December 1928, it was withdrawn September 1960 and scrapped in December 1960, at the time of Peter's photograph it was an 84A Wolverhampton Stafford Road locomotive.

    Ex-LNER 60034 Lord Faringdon (or formerly 4903 Peregrine as it was before being renumbered under British Railways) was one of 35 Doncaster built Class A4 Gresley Pacific steam locomotives.

    It entered service on 1 July 1938 and was withdrawn on 24 August 1966.

    49 Class Diesel Electric Locomotives 4908 & 4918
    The 49 class were built primarily as branchline locomotives, manufactured by Clyde engineering with 8-cylinder EMD 567C prime movers and delivered between 1960-1964. The 18 members of the class saw extensive use in the Western Region for the majority of their careers before being transferred to Delec for metropolitan and southern working in 1989. After being withdrawn in 1997 and sitting in storage, both 4908 and 4918 were sold to 3801 Limited in 1999 when Freightcorp was sold to become Pacific National. The company paid the princely sum of $98.26 for the pair – the prices of the locos being $49.08 and $49.18 respectively!

    Both were repainted into different 3801 Limited corporate liveries – an Indian Red and Cream livery was applied to 4908 to match the passenger carriage fleet, while 4918 wore a red and black scheme inspired by that of 3801, earning it the nickname ‘Batmobile’! 4908 was sold to Greentrains in 2008 and is currently in service with Southern Shorthaul Railroad, while 4918 stayed on, being repainted Tuscan and becoming the backbone of the fleet following 3801’s departure. 4918 was sold to the Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum in 2017 and is currently stored at Cardiff NSW.

    K-5b Pacific No. 4915 appears at Cincinnati on October 7, 1949, perhaps making a transfer run between Cincinnati Union Terminal and the roundhouse being towed by another engine. This locomotive and sister K-5b No. 4917 received streamlined shrouds and disc drivers in 1936, as seen in a Gary Overfield photo in George Elwood's collection. As a result they weighed more than the other K-5s, at 317,000 pounds; additionally, their boiler pressure was raised to 210 p.s.i., resulting in a tractive effort of 39,540 pounds (47,350 pounds with booster cut in). They powered the Detroit-Cleveland Mercury, and later the Cincinnati-Chicago James Whitcomb Riley. The streamlining was removed early in 1947, but No. 4915 retained her set of disc drivers which had been illuminated while she was streamlined. No. 4915 came from ALCo's Schenectady Works in 1926 as Michigan Central No. 8355, but became Big Four No. 6515 the following year; she assumed her final number in the 1936 system-wide renumbering. She was retired in 1952 and scrapped in 1954.
