An unidentified LMS 4-6-0 Class 5 locomotive is seen blowing off steam at the East end of Platform 1 whilst at the head of a Birmingham to Euston express service. Standing on the middle road is an unidentified LMS 2-6-2T locomotive designed by Henry Fowler. The Class 5, better known to enthusiasts as a 'Black 5' to differentiate them from Stanier's Jubilee 5XP class painted in LMS Crimson Lake, were built between 1934 and 1951 with a total of 842 being built. The class survived to the last day of steam on British Railways in August 1968 and a total of eighteen have been preserved.
