'Tram' engine at Stratford Locomotive Depot
This is not a brake-van, but is a small '0-6-0T' with 3'1" wheels, Class J70 built specially for working on the several roadside tramways in East Anglia, with protection from horses (and people) by its skirting, cow-catchers (removed here) and speed restricted by governors to 8 mph. No. 8226 seen here worked on Hythe Docks at Colchester: it lasted until 1955.

Activity in the great Locomotive Yard at Stratford in 1947
View northward; ex-Great Eastern major Depot. On a foggy January Saturday, Holden J67 0-6-0T No. 8590 of 1899, one of an army of shunting tanks kept at Stratford, is struggling across a turntable with a string of dead locomotives (D15 'Claud' 4-4-0 No. 2509, J15 0-6-0 No. 5374 and D16/3 'Super Claud' 4-4-0 No. 2608). The Fitters were on Strike, so an immense clutter of immobile engines had accumulated in the Yard. That afternoon I walked miles and noted no less than 361 locomotives, about half of which were here out in the'Field', as this area was called - and it was not even a Sunday, when most of the engines would be resting.
