English: An L1 2-6-4T leaving Neasden Locomotive Depot.
Neasden Depot served the passenger and freight traffic of the London end of the ex-Great Central main line into London Marylebone, also the freight traffic on the ex-Metropolitan lines. In 1947 it had a compliment of 86 locomotives:- 5 4-6-0, 5 4-4-0, 3 0-6-0, 30 4-6-2T, 3 4-4-2T, 18 2-6-4T, 20 0-6-2T, 2 0-4-0T. In 1947 the 2-6-4T were all ex-Metropolitan and this Thompson L1 (No. 67717), depicted here in 1948, was almost brand-new; it was one of the earlier series fitted with Westinghouse brake equipment and with generator for the electric lights attached to the stub of the rear bogie axle on the left side.
