Dapol N 2S-015-011 KWVR 41241 LMS/BR Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T Preservation Lined Maroon Livery

In the early days of railway preservation several of the new railways finished locomotives in their own liveries. LMS Ivatt 2-6-2T 41241 (Crewe 1949) was purchased directly from BR by the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, arriving under it's own power in March 1967. A condition of sale was that the privately owned locomotive could not carry current BR livery and crests, so 41241 was repainted into lined maroon livery and lettered KW(crest)VR for the reopening of the Worth Valley line. There can be little doubt the choice of LMS passenger livery provided an attractive change from the run-down appearance of British Railways' steam locomotives and 41241 carried this livery into the 1970s, including for the 1975 Rocket 150 cavalcade.
Later repainted into the more authentic British Railways black livery 41241 returned from overhaul in 2018 finished in the KW&VR maroon livery for the heritage railways' 50th anniversary.

The LMS Class 2 2-6-2 tank engines were designed by H. G. Ivatt and constructed between 1946 and 1952 to replace older locomotives. This versatile class was built primarily for branch line duties for which their “Prairie” wheelbase was well suited. Ivatt also included several labour-saving features such as self-cleaning ashpans to improve operating economies. Following an initial batch of ten locomotives built by the LMS, British Railways decided to enlarge the class and a further 120 examples were built.
During BR days, they were allocated to the LMR, SR and WR regions and were equally at home hauling passenger and goods services. The last member of the class was withdrawn in 1967, but four examples of this popular locomotive type have been preserved and all are presently operational.
