Ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 Black 5 No 44942 runs forward to be turned on Rugby's turntable after being coaled and watered. Its excellent condition indicates that it must have only just left the works after being overhauled. Built at Horwich works in December 1946 No 44942 lasted until the final months of steam operations on British Railways when it was withdrawn in June 1968 from Lostock Hall shed to be scrapped by Drapers Ltd of Hull in January 1969.
