LMS 6P 4-6-0 Royal Scot class No 6117 'Welsh Guardsman' is seen working hard at the head of an up express service to Euston. Built at Crewe works in November 1927 No 6117 was later rebuilt postwar with a 2A tapered boiler and remained in service until November 1962 when it was withdrawn from Holbeck shed in Leeds to be scrapped at Crewe works in December 1963.
