View northward, outside the extensive ex-London & North Western Carriage Works, which bordered the West Coast Main Line just west of Wolverton Station: immediately behind is the former Royal Train Shed, which is Listed and survives to this day. The locomotives were ex-LNW 'Special' 2F 0-6-0 saddle-tanks, Carriage Dept. Nos. 3, 6 and 7. (The fourth member of the team, No. 8 'Earlestown', is just out of frame on the right.)
