Ex-LMS 4-6-0 rebuilt Royal Scot No 46149 'The Middlesex Regiment' is seen approached Rugby station whilst at the head of a down express, just before passing under the GC bridge. Built as LMS No 6149 by the North British Locomotive Company in December 1927 it was rebuilt in the immediate post-war period with a new tapered boiler and remained in service until September 1963 when it was withdrawn from Longsight shed in Manchester to be scrapped in November 1963 at Crewe works. See image 'lnwrcov252' for a close up of the locomotive standing in Coventry station.
