Original Sepia Postcard Photograph of London & South Western Railways (LSWR) Steam Locomotive and Tender No 678 and Railway workers / management suitably flat capped!

A wonderful sepia image, original and postally unused. Some minor foxing to the reverse.

The LSWR T6 class was a class of express passenger 4-4-0 steam locomotives designed for the London and South Western Railway by William Adams. Ten were constructed at Nine Elms Locomotive Works between 1885 and 1886.

The class were numbered 677–686, and were a development of the X2 class, based on experience gained with the locomotives in traffic. The boiler was based on that used in the T3 class, and shared the main dimensions. No 678 was still in use as late as 1936 with Southern Railways.

This image is circa Great War period.
