<u>Steam on Shed</u><br>45479 is one of the ubiquitous and ever popular Stanier Black 5's which was photographed by my brother on one of his 1964 jaunts. This shot is a good example of the way in which Scottish smpkebox number plates differed from their siblings to the south. The location is St Margaret's mpd in Edinburgh. The loco was withdrawn from service at Ardrossan in May 1964 according to my only reference source and this shot was taken around that time.

The loco is depicted here in commendably clean condition at Camden on November 10th, 1935. 5542 never bore a name in its rebuilt form and wasn't subsequently further enhanced. It survived until June 1962 when it was withdrawn from service at Nuneaton shed (2B) after 31 years of noble service.
