Ex-LNWR G2a 0-8-0 No 49266 is stored with other locomotives between the Erecting Workshop and the coal stage during Spring 1959. Originally built as a Class 'B' four-cylinder Compound and numbered LNWR No 1884, No 49266 was subsequently rebuilt three more times. First as a Class 'E' in December 1904, then as a G1 Class locomotive in August 1917 and finally as a G2a Class in August 1941 in which form it survived until November 1959 when it was withdrawn from 2A Rugby shed.
