Description
No.47406 belongs to a prolific class of LMS Class 3F locomotives mostly referred to as Jinties although the origin of this nick name is not certain.
No.47406, original LMS number 16489, was built by the Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows in 1926 at a cost of £3,330. It spent a few weeks nearby at Warrington, before moving to Crewe South shed, from where it mainly worked Basford Hall sidings and the carriage sheds. In October 1928 the engine moved to Carnforth where it spent almost 32 years.
It was allocated No.7406 in the general LMS renumbering and under British Railways’ ownership became No.47406. From 1960 No.47406 changed shed a number of times. From 1960 to 1963 it was at Warrington (Dallam), 1963 to 1965 at Manchester (Gorton – the former GCR shed), and finally from 1965 to 1967 at Liverpool (Edge Hill).
It was withdrawn in December, 1967, and ended up in Barry scrapyard the following July. Ironically this was almost certainly the furthest it had ever travelled from its North West origin and haunts.
