Minus its coupling rods and lined up with other locomotives awaiting attention at Doncaster Works is K1/1 No. 61997 'MacCailin Mor', the two-cylinder rebuild (12/45) of former Gresley three-cylinder K4 2-6-0 No. 3445 built in 1/39: it was the prototype of the Peppercorn K1 2-6-0s and was withdrawn in 6/61, so was no doubt out of use here in April 1961.
