Former LMS Lines
Photos taken on the lines of the former LMS, apart from those with a dedicated collection such as the West Coast Main Line and Scotland, from the end of the steam era to the present day. As usual, a few to start with, many more to be added...

Midland Railway No. 158A, Butterley, June 1976
Midland Railway Kirtley Class 156 2-4-0 No. 158A was preserved by the LMS and spent many years in store at the old roundhouse within Derby Works, restored to MR livery but after several rebuilds. Part of the National Collection it was eventually moved on loan to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley in 1975, where it is seen outside in the yard in mid-June 1976. It has never steamed in preservation. Beyond is somewhat larger Stanier "Princess Royal" 4-6-2 No. 6203 "Princess Margaret Rose". Slide No. 13757.
