With steam leaking from its valve chest ex-LNWR 4-6-0 P.O.W. (Prince of Wales) class No 25674 "Scott" stands at the head of a down local passenger train. Despite the five letter name the nameplate borne by the locomotive was a standard size on all Precursors. This class of engine often worked through to Leamington on a train from Stafford, the same train which brought 'Queen of the Belgians' and other P.O.W.s to Warwick shed. Number 25674, the number "2" as a prefix was because the locomotive had been placed on the duplicate list to make way for the new Patriots and Jubilees. Number 25674 was built by the LNWR by the North British Locomotive Company in January 1916 and was initially allocated the running number 1132 by the LNWR. It received its LMS running number 5674 in April 1926 and lasted in service a little under ten more years before being withdrawn in February 1936 to be scrapped by Crewe works later in the same year.
