PLL LNWR Webb Cauliflower loco
Webb's famous 'Cauliflower' 0-6-0s were originally intended for express freight work and suprisingly although the first was built in 1880 the next nine did not appear until 1887. Construction continued relatively slowly until 1902 when the total number reached 310.
The name 'Cauliflower' (or the alternative 'crested goods') stems from the fact that in LNWR days they were the only 0-6-0s owned by the company that carried the company coat of arms on the centre splasher which when viewed from a distance resembled a cauliflower.
A total of 308 were taken over by the LMS in 1923 and a program was started of rebuilding them with belpaire fireboxes although some that were rebuilt later reverted to round top fireboxes. Of the locos modelled 8460 and 8464 were at Stoke in 1947 and 8337 was one of the last survivors as BR 58365 being scrapped in 1954. 69 reached BR ownership, the last three going in December 1955, but none are preserved.
