No.3209 is a 17in ‘Coal Engine’ , paused at Manchester (London Road) as it comes off the Deansgate line. The way to tell a ‘Coal Engine’ from a ‘DX’  or a ‘Cauliflower’  is, a ‘DX’ has small connecting rod  splashers  with slots whereas a ‘Coal Engine’ has none, but both have straight foot plates  whereas a ‘Cauliflower’ has humps over each wheel, which are also larger. This super shot clearly shows the cast H-section spoke  wheels and wooden brake blocks .
