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42265 was to remain in service until October 1965 when it was withdrawn from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.
