Ex-LMS 4-6-2 8P Coronation class No 46241 'City of Edinburgh' is
seen standing at platform one on an up express waiting for the right of way.
Built at Crewe works as LMS No 6241 in April 1940 it was originally built with
streamlining but due to wartime restrictions was painted plain black. After the
war the streamlining was removed to aid easier maintenance and one clue as to
their history was the gap in front of the cylinders between the running plate
and the bufferbeam. Number 46241 was finally retired from service in September
1964 when it was withdrawn from Edge Hill shed in Liverpool and was finally cut
up in January 1965 by J Cashmore of Great Bridge.
