Ex-LNER 2-6-2 V2 No 60831 is seen standing in the up loop at Rugby Central on a cold winters day

Ex-LNER 2-6-2 V2 No 60831 is seen standing in the up loop at Rugby Central on a cold winters day. Built as LNER No 4802 at Darlington works in May 1938, the locomotive was again renumbered by the LNER in November 1946 as No 831 and again by British Railways in November 1948 as No 60831 which it retained until December 1966 when it was withdrawn from 50A York North shed to be scrapped by Drapers of Hull. When scrapped this engine was the penultimate member of the class withdrawn from BR service, followed later the same month by the last, No 60836.
