Visitors at a steaming day in the early days of the Birmingham Railway Museum, now Tyseley Locomotive Works. A GWR King Class and an LMS Black 5 locomotive were in action, but the engine in the centre, Southern Railway King Arthur Class 30777 "Sir Lamiel" was not. After restoration it eventually steamed again in 1982. The engine on the left is a Great Northern Railway J52 saddle tank. (The small Instamatic print from which this image was scanned is not dated, so the date I have appended is vague.)
