Ex-GWR 2-6-2T 'Large Prairie' No 5185 is seen arriving at the down platform at the head of the 1:15pm Leamington to Honeybourne and Evesham service in 1957. Allocated to Leamington Spa shed in 1941, No 5185 remained at the shed until the following year when it was transferred to the West Country. Built at Swindon works to Lot 259 in March 1931 No 5185 remained in service for barely three more years being withdrawn from service in March 1960 from 83B Taunton shed to be scrapped during June 1960 by Swindon works.
