Although now relegated to lesser duties and with its 'Velocipede' name removed to be inherited by a Stanier 'Jubilee', ex-L&NWR Whale 'Precursor' No. 5312 makes a stirring sight in August 1934 at Blisworth in Northamptonshire.

5312 was built at Crewe in Jan. 1906 as L&NWR No. 2584 and was withdrawn in Dec. 1935
