Ex-LMS 4-6-0 5XP Jubilee class No 45601 'British Guiana' has been turned on the turntable and now stands alongside ex-LMS 2-6-4T No 42309. Behind the 2-6-4T is the conveyor belt introduced to increase productivity necessary in the post-war period due to labour shortages. Built as LMS No 5601 by the North British Locomotive Company in April 1935 No 45601 remained in service until September 1964 when it was withdrawn from Newton Heath shed near Manchester to be scrapped in June 1965 by the Central Wagon Company of Ince near Wigan. Number 42309 was built by the LMS and numbered 2309 at Derby works to Lot 47 in February 1928 and it remained in service until September 1964 when it was withdrawn from Carnforth shed to be scrapped in January 1965 also by the Central Wagon Company of Ince near Wigan.
