Ex-LMS 4MT 2-6-4T No 42265 is seen marshalling empty coaching stock in Coventry goods yard in the early 1960s. The photograph shows just how busy Coventry goods yard was in the early 1960s. In the background is the overhead travelling crane whilst of the left the corner of the motor loading ramp can be seen. In addition to the overhead travelling crane, to its left, a mobile crane's jib can be seen above the many vans. Designed by Fairburn and built as LMS No 2265 by Derby works to Lot 185 in January 1947, No 42265 was to remain in service until October 1965 when it was withdrawn from 66D Ladyburn shed to be scrapped by GH Campbell of Airdrie.
