Great Western Railway Churchward '43xx' class 2-6-0 No. 5370. Built at Swindon in June 1919 and withdrawn in September 1960. George Jackson Churchward (as ever) led the way by designing a truly modern 2-6-0 mixed traffic British steam locomotive. The class had long, useful lives and many lasted over 40 years. 5370 trundles through Birmingham's Snow Hill Station in June 1937 with a lengthy freight.
