LMS Period Locomotives: lnwrbns_lms491
Ex-LNWR 2P 4-6-0 Experiment class No 5468 'Lady of the Lake'
still carries its LNWR livery and lining when seen at the head of a down
express service to Wolverhampton. However by this date its LNWR number plate on
the cab side has been removed and replaced by the LMS crest. Built in September
1906 as LNWR No 1989 by Crewe works the LMS number was applied in April 1927
some twenty months before the name 'Lady of the Lake' was removed in December
1928. With the introduction of many new LMS locomotives No 5468 was retired
from service in December 1929 to be scrapped by Crewe works shortly
afterwards.
