Ex-LNWR 5XP 4-6-0 Claughton class No 5985 is seen at the head of an up express to Euston north of Rugby

Ex-LNWR 5XP 4-6-0 Claughton class No 5985 is seen at the head of an up express to Euston north of Rugby circa 1930. Built as LNWR No 808 by Crewe works in April 1920 it gained its LMS number in May 1927 and remained in service until July 1932 when it was withdrawn - as one of the many Claughton class locomotives to be 'rebuilt' as part of the LMS' new Patriot class - to emerge from Crewe works as LMS 4-6-0 Patriot class No 5503 'The Leicestershire Regiment'.
