Ex-LMS 2-6-4T 4MT No 42338 is seen standing at Coventry station's new platform three on a Rugby to Birmingham local passenger train on New Years Eve 1962. Winter was a time of extremes for the footplate crew as when the door the firebox was open they would be hit by searing heat to their front whilst the cold winter winds would freeze their backs. Built as LMS No 2338 at Derby works to Lot 53 in April 1929 it remained in service until January 1964 when it was withdrawn from Gorton shed to be cut up at Horwich works in April 1964.
