Some of the wartime MAWDs had their rooftop headlight re-located to the centre of the smokebox door. This fascinating picture shows both the types of headlight arrangement on the MAWDs. Most of the SR MAWDs had the centre arrangement though. Location: Madras, Egmore. Circa: 1982. #AUTH1#John Lacey#AUTH2# #SILVER#
