Proud-looking 'Jubilee' No. 5733 'Novelty' (built 11/36, withdrawn 9/64) is being prepared for the road, still in LMS livery - in 1946. [One of my earliest and better 'portraits']. Aston Depot provided motive power for ex-LNW passenger and freight traffic north from Birmingham: at that time (coded 3D) it had an allocation of 53:- 7 4-6-0, 6 2-6-0, 9 0-8-0, 15 0-6-0, 7 2-6-4T, 4 2-6-2T and 5 0-6-0T.
