45th locomotive saved from Barry Scrapyard.

This post, 6 January 2022, features a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle made by House of Puzzles, of Invergordon. The locomotive is preserved on the Severn Valley Railway but under overhaul at the present time.

The locomotive, a 'Mogul' (2-6-0) designed by William Stanier, was built as LMS (London Midand Scottish) No.13268 at Crewe Works in 1934.She entered traffic as No.2968 but was re-numbered to 42968 by British Railways (BR) from 1948. 42968 was withdrawn from active service in 1966 and arrived at Barry Scrapyard in South Wales, in June 1967. She left Barry in December 1973 under the custodianship of the 'Stanier Mogul Fund', the 45th locomotive to leave the famous Woodham Brothers' scrapyard. The only member of her class to be preserved was delivered to the Severn Valley Railway at Bewdley. She was moved to Bridgnorth engineering section for overhaul, in July 1974. No.42968 first ran under her own steam in 1990, and in April 1991, was placed into full service on the SVR. No.42968 is currently out of service and under overhaul at the SVR. The title of the jigsaw is Back on Track.
