File:Move It - Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum - City Of Birmingham Locomotive 46235 (8619609341).jpg
These were most likely in display at one time or another in the old Science Museum on Newhall Street (until 1997).
When not on display, some of them had been stored at the Museum Collections Centre on Dollman Street in Nechells.
This is the most famous part of Thinktank - the City of Birmingham - LMS locomotive - no 46235.
I remember seeing it many times at the old Birmingham Museum of Science & Industry on Newhall Street (when I was younger). It used to move a little bit, but the way it is installed here it can't move.
You can walk around it, then up a ramp (with old railway signs on one side).
Then in the middle, you can look at where the railway men would drive the engine!
