Pioneer Stanier 'Black Five' at Rugby Locomotive Depot
Seen outside the main Shed in 1953, No. 5000 was not actually the first of the 842 very successful 5P5F (later 5MT) 4-6-0s to appear, as it came out of Crewe Works in 1935 after the 5020-65 batch ordered from the Vulcan Foundry began to emerge in 1934. As 45000 it was withdrawn in 10/67 and preserved; it is now an exhibit at the National Railway Museum, York.
