LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Coughton Station: mrcou376
Ex-LMS 4MT 2-6-0 Mogul 'Flying Pig' or 'Doodle Bug' No 43013
stands at the head of an Ashchurch to Birmingham local passenger train not long
before the station closed. Number 43013 was designed by Ivatt during his very
short tenure as CME after the death of Fairburn, Stanier's successor. Built at
Horwich works in April 1947 it remained in service for only eighteen years
before being withdrawn from Heaton Mersey (CLC) shed in October 1965 for
scrapping by TW Ward Ltd of Killamarsh in January 1966.
