LMS 5MT 2-6-0 No 2977 is seen standing held by signals opposite
Nuneaton station's platform 5 during shunting of the yard. In addition to the
semaphore signals instantly recognised on a railway, discs at ground level
replicated the signal and the support post of one of discs can be seen in front
of the locomotive's pony wheel. Built by the LMS initially as No 13277 at Crewe
works in January 1934 - it was renumbered the same year as part of the LMS'
renumbering scheme to make provision for the new Stanier classes - and remained
in service until June 1966 when it was withdrawn from Heaton shed on the former
Cheshire Lines Committee line to be scrapped in September 1966 by Bird's of
Long Marston.
