Ex-LMS 4-6-0 6P Converted Scot' No 46132 'The Kings
Regiment' is seen about to pass under the former GC bridge whilst at the head
of an up express service. Yet to receive its smoke deflectors No 46132 was
originally built by the North British Locomotive Company in September 1927 as
LMS No 6132 'Phoenix' but acquired the name 'The Kings Regiment' shortly
afterwards. As with all of the Royal Scot class when their boilers became life
expired they were converted with a new Stanier 2A boiler and received
significant improvements to the cylinders and chassis. Converted in October
1944 No 46132 remained in service until October 1962 when it was withdrawn to
be scrapped.
