BR built to an LMS design, Ivatt 2-6-2T 3MT No 41218 is seen
on Rugby or Weedon bound train circa 1949. The locomotive is motor fitted as is
evident by the mass of pipes and other clutter on the left-hand running plate.
The smoke box carries two plates, one is 'SC' meaning its smokebox was
self-cleaning the other is a 2C shed plate denoting it was shedded at
Northampton if the date of photograph is correct.
Northampton was assigned the shed allocation 4B in July
1950 with Warwick Milverton taking over the 2C classification at the same time.
The 'British Railways' lettering and full LNWR type lining do not help as the
locomotive would have carried this livery at least to the end of 1950.
