Another view of ex-LMS 4-6-0 Jubilee class No 45599 'Bechuanaland' standing in line with other withdrawn locomotives at Coventry's new shed having had its chimney covered to prevent ingress of water into the smokebox. The reason for this action was because whilst the locomotive might be withdrawn it did not mean it would not be re-employed in case of emergency or high traffic loadings. Ingress of water would lead to a build up of liquid entering the cylinders and consequently causing damage when the locomotive was later moved. C1964
