LMS 6P 4-6-0 Royal Scot class No 6149 'The Middlesex Regiment' is seen passing over Newbold Troughs at the head of an up express service in August 1939. Built by the North British Locomotive Company in December 1927 No 6149 was rebuilt with a tapered 2A boiler after the Second World War and in this new form remained in service until September 1963 when it was withdrawn from Longsight shed in Manchester to be scrapped during November 1963 by Crewe works.
