Ex-LMS 4-6-0 Jubilee class No 5681 'Aboukir' is seen wearing British Railways on the tender as it passes through Brinklow station on an up express

Ex-LMS 4-6-0 Jubilee class No 5681 'Aboukir' is seen wearing British Railways on the tender as it passes through Brinklow station on an up express circa 1948. Built at Crewe works to Lot 279 in December 1935 No 5681 remained in service until October 1964 when it was withdrawn from Blackpool shed to be scrapped during June 1965 by the Central Wagon Company of Ince in Wigan.

In the first months of ownership by the newly nationalised railway locomotives of the four grouping companies retained their numbers but had the old grouping company's identity removed. Later, after the letter 'M' had been added for short while to differentiate Midland Region locomotives, ex-LMS locomotives had 40,000 added to their numbers. Therefore 5681 would become 45681 whilst locomotives numbered 10,000 and above became 50,000 etc.
