London Midland & Scottish Railway - LMS "Beyer Garratt" type 2-6-0+0-6-2 steam locomotive Nr. 4997 (Beyer Peacock Locomotive Works, Manchester-Gorton, 1927)

The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Garratt was a class of 2-6-0+0-6-2 steam locomotive designed for heavy freight. A total of 33 were built from 1927, making them the most numerous class of Garratt in Britain
Three locomotives were built in April 1927 and the remaining thirty were built between August and November of 1930. All were built with straight sided bunkers but from 1931 all except the first two of the 1927 trio were fitted with revolving coal bunkers
The 1927 trio were numbered 4997–4999, and the 1930 batch from 4967 to 4996. They were later renumbered 7967–7999 in the same order to make way for the new Black 5s . British Railways added 40000 to their numbers. The class was withdrawn between June 1955 and April 1958. None survived into preservation

-A day trip to somewhere picks up passengers at Sutton Park, possibly destined for one of the Cambrian coast resorts.
The lead locomotive is a rather grubby D5002, but generally in original condition apart from small yellow warning panels.
The sixteen year ten month career of D5002/24002 was spent allocated to London Midland Region, Southern Region & Scottish Region depots.

Built Derby Locomotive Works.
