Past and Present - LMS 4-6-0 "Jubilee" 6P5F and 7P

Whilst not regular visitors to the GCR, these fine locos were the standard power on the Midland line. I am particularly fond of the engine featured here as at the end of its BR career 45593 Kolhapur was shedded at Burton and was a regular sight at my local haunts.
