Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2T 41312, probably on station pilot duties. The type was designed for the LMS railway but most of the class were built after 1948 by British Railways. This locomotive was one of the final 30, which were always allocated to the Southern Region, despite having ex-LMS series numbers. It has survived into preservation, currently (2021) on the Mid Hants Line.
