Built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in the 1930s, these locomotives were known for their reliability and efficiency. They typically featured a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, which provided a good balance of power and stability. The LMS Class 5 locomotives were widely used across the railway network, especially on mainline routes. Their design allowed for high speeds and the ability to haul heavy loads, making them a popular choice for both express and local trains during their operational years.
