Oxford-based No 7239 is seen on shed at Southall in 1962.
This loco was a rebuild of No 5274 in 1936.
We didn’t see very many of this class so near to London as the 28XX and 38XX class usually worked the heavier coal and freight trains.
Note the diagonal line of rivets on the coal bunker is above the numberplate, signifying this is a ‘coal scuttle’ bunker
