LMS 3MT 2-6-2T No 143 is seen running bunker first at the head of a Nuneaton to Coventry local passenger service in 1948. The train appears to be made up of four LMS Suburban coaches with a four-wheel van at the rear. Built at Derby works in November 1935 No 143 was to remain in service until October 1961 when as British Railways No 40143 it was withdrawn from 8D Widnes shed to be scrapped in January 1963 by the Central Wagon Company of Ince near Wigan.
