The hustle and bustle of the early 1950s Euston is noticeable as a taper boiler and a parallel boiler ‘Royal Scot’ rest side by side after arrival in Platforms 2 and 1 respectively. The contrast in front end appearance is very noticeable: Bushbury’s 46110 Grenadier Guardsman on the right appears much more imposing than Edge Hill’s 46135 The East Lancashire Regiment on the left. This picture was taken after November 1950 when 46135 was fitted with smoke deflectors and before July 1951 when 46110 was transferred away from Bushbury shed to Carlisle Upperby; Grenadier Guardsman was itself rebuilt with a taper boiler in January 1953. No. 46135 had arrived first and its passengers are streaming off the train while the fireman has already changed the headlamps from Express Passenger to Light Engine ready to back down to Camden shed. No. 46110 with Express Passenger headlamps has only just come to a stand and the passengers are still on the train. Note the two boards indicating the ‘REFRESHMENT FACILITIES’ – ‘DINING ROOM’, TEA ROOM’, REFRESHMENT ROOM’, ‘REFRESHMENT BAR’ and ‘’TEA BAR’; and, last but not least, at the foot of the sign ‘TEA TROLLEYS’. The buffer stops are a special design sliding on two additional pairs of rails on either side of the running rails and designed to assist the stopping of over-zealous arriving trains. They are fitted with sockets for lamps that date back to 19th century L&NWR designs. Note also the L&NWR ground signal, painted yellow indicating permission to use the crossover from Platform 1, but not restricting an engine from following departing coaches out.
