Saturday Afternoon at Enfield 5
Now we’re looking at 5261 on the left and 5490 on the right sitting over the ash pits. Below 5490 you will see a string of S trucks ready to be shunted under the pits so that ash from the fireboxes could be dropped straight into them.
From here both locos will move off to the left of the picture and make their way down to which ever roundhouse they were to be stabled in over the weekend.
5261 was a member of the 50 class and 5490 was a member of the 53 class. Both classes were similar to each other although these two locos are coupled to quite different tenders.
