The LNER-designed Thompson 'L1' 2-6-4 Tanks could often be seen on station pilot duties at King's Cross though they seem to have been infrequently photographed in that role. 67793 is bringing in Pullman stock at an unknown date in the late 1950s. This 1950 built locomotive, allocated to King's Cross from new, would be withdrawn after transfer to Colwick in 1962.
