Steam locomotive, Southern Railway, Schools class 4-4-0 No 925 "Cheltenham", designed by R.E.L. Maunsell, built at Eastleigh in 1934, withdrawn in 1962. The cab of Cheltenham also contains: A canvas weather hood, grate rocking lever, grate rocking lever, firebox scuttle, firebox collar, 6 mud hole doors, 3 spare injector plugs, two water gauge protective frames.
In 1930 R E L Maunsell produced the largest 4-4-0 design to operate in this country. These were the “Schools” class, which eventually totalled 40. They were capable of operating over the Hastings line with its restricted clearances, and also worked some of the lighter express trains on the lines to Bournemouth and the Kent Coast, as well as to Portsmouth. Cheltenham was built at Eastleigh in 1934, and when withdrawn in 1962 was chosen for preservation. It has been restored to British Railways green with the late BR Logo used between 1956-1964.
