Details: Although basically the same, the two preserved former LT tractors have a few significant differences. 351X on the left has solid tyres, electric lights and a registration plate. 626X on the right has pneumatic tyres, mudguards with a running board between them and what seems to be some sort of platform (or seat?) alongside the engine. Both tractors have a wire strop running over the radiator header tank that appears to hold up the beams to which the front buffers are attached. These two tractors probably never met during their LT careers. 351X was only ever at Charlton works, going from there straight to the British Transport Museum. 626X worked from Hertford and Edgware garages before spending its final ten years at Chiswick Works.
