British Railways built Ivatt 2MT No 46446 is seen at the
head of a Nuneaton to Leamington local passenger service in June 1951. Built at
Crewe in March 1949 No 46446 remained in service until December 1966 when it
was withdrawn from Shrewsbury shed to be scrapped by J Cashmore of Newport in
September 1967. Reg Kimber writes, 'No 46446 and sister engine No 46445 were
probably the only new locos ever to come to Coventry shed. Even then the
records showed one of them first allocated briefly to 5A. There was great
excitement amongst the rail fraternity at school when they arrived'.
