LMS Royal Scot 4-6-0 No 6123 Royal Irish Fusilier takes water from Bushey troughs with a Euston to Birmingham express in 1947. It is hard to believe but this loco is still in LMS red livery! It was one of the few that retained this livery after 1948 with BR number in LMS block style but retaining the LMS tender insignia.
