Ex-LMS 8F 2-8-0 No 48121 approaches Kenilworth Junction after failing at Gibbet Hill on 5th August 1965. The father of the photographer, George Hickman, can be seen looking over the side of the bridge. Built by Crewe works to Lot 149 in May 1939, No 48121 was to remain in service until April 1967 when it was withdrawn from 8G Sutton Oak shed to be scrapped by Drapers Ltd of Hull.
