Ex-LMS Rebuilt Patriot 4-6-0 No 45535 'Sir Herbert Walker KCB' enters Rugby station with an up express in 1953. Built as LMS No 5535 by Derby works in May 1933, this locomotive, originally a Henry Fowler parallel boilered design, received its name in 1937. In the first year of British Railways ownership the locomotive received its BR number in June 1948 whilst in September 1948, with its boiler life expired, No 45535 was rebuilt with a Stanier 2A tapered boiler which it carried until October 1963 when it was withdrawn from 12A Kingmoor shed to be scrapped by British Railway's Rigley Wagon works.
