British Railways (ex LMS) 0-6-0 loco No. 44197 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old amateur photograph of locomotive No. 44197, I think in the sidings at Skipton as that is the shed it was allocated to. The photo is stuck in a old rail enthusiast album, unfortunately there is no date or photographer name, but they do appear to date from 1950s/60s. This was a H. Fowler designed class 4F, 0-6-0 engine, built at the St. Rollox Works in Glasgow and new to the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) in Oct 1925, carrying No. 4197. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, becoming British Railways (BR), engine No. 4197 became No. 44197. The locomotive was withdrawn from service by BR in Sep 1964, then scrapped in January of the following year by Cohens of Cargo Fleet.

Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------
