BR built LMS designed Ivatt 2-6-2T 3MT No 41218, was one of a number of this class allocated new to local sheds. In this view No 41218 is facing forward to the direction of travel as it stands at the head of a Weedon train circa 1949.

Number 41218 was built in September 1948 at Crewe works and, as with all members of this very competent class, had a very short life being withdrawn in July 1965 from Northampton shed. It was later scrapped by J Cashmore of Great Bridge in September 1965 a mere 17 years after being built.
