I believe 41225 was a Bushbury (3B W/ton) engine when i was there, it was fitted with push/pull equipment for working locals to Lichfield/Burton,but was superceded by diesel units. The fireman on these working's consisted of a senior or passed fireman, apparently they had a good turn of speed.
I never worked this engine,(being too junior) but did work the Burton local on occasions with a Stanier class 3 tank engine when the DMU. had failed.
