Ex-LMS Princess Coronation Class 4-6-2 No 46240 'City of Coventry' is about to depart  from Platform 1 circa 1962

Ex-LMS Princess Coronation Class 4-6-2 No 46240 'City of Coventry' is about to depart from Platform 1 circa 1962. Built by Crewe works in March 1940, No 46240 remained in service until October 1964 when it was withdrawn from 1A Willesden shed. Despite the outbreak of the Second World War the locomotive was built in streamlined form but was painted in unlined black. The open area to the running plate in front of the cylinders provides instance evidence as to whether a locomotive was built in streamlined form.
