Close up showing LMS 4P Compound 4-4-0 No 1172 standing next to an unidentified ex-LNWR 0-8-0 G2 class locomotive. The Compound must be a visitor as none were ever shedded at Coventry. In the 1930s, when Coventry was the centre of the car industry and prior to the motor shows we know today, the manufacturers often ran specials from London to the factories for journalists and prospective buyers.
