Ex-LMS 0-4-4T 2P No 41909 on a local passenger service on 28th September 1956. This locomotive is attributed to Stanier but its looks clearly demonstrates its Derby heritage. The 'promotion' of Fowler resulted in a one year gap before Stanier took up office and Lemons was responsible for the design of this locomotive which appeared in traffic after Stanier took up tenure.

Number 41909 was fitted to operate push-pull trains and was built at Derby in January 1933. Allocated the LMS running number 1909 No 41909 remained in the area for just over three years after the photograph was taken being withdrawn from traffic in December 1959 from Rugby shed and scrapped by J Cashmore of Great Bridge shortly afterwards.
