LMS Furness Railway 0-6-2T 11635 locomotive w'drawn 1934
Furness railway L3 class 0-6-2T locomotives were designed by Pettigrew and six were constructed by NBL in 1907 All were withdrawn by the LMS between 1931 and 1941 In all main dimensions they were identical with Class L2, but had shorter side tanks and longer bunkers; the tanks stopped short over the centre of the driving axle, and to provide the same water capacity the bunker tank was enlarged. In fact the only real difference between the two classes was the weight distribution. Figure 32. These six engines became LMS 11635-40 in 1923, and lasted rather longer than the L2s, probably on account of their different weight distribution, which made them rather more universally available. No. 11635, and possibly one other, was fitted with a LYR Belpaire boiler in 1927. NBL works Nos. were 17808-13 of 1907; the Furness Nos. were 96, 97, and 108-111 respectively, becoming LMS 11635-40, in that order. Two, 11638-40, were withdrawn in 1933; 11637 in 1935; 11639 was the first to go, in 1931, but 11635-6 remained in use until 1938 and 1941 respectively.
