LMS Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-2T No. 41312 temporarily renumbered as Neasden Depot classmate 41284 coupled to three of the Bluebell Railway's Metropolitan Railway carriages to recreate the last day of steam operation of the Chesham Flyer, seen here on 26th February 2006. The Chesham Branch was operated by two 3-coach sets of carriages dating from the 19th century. When the branch was electrified the rolling stock was declared obsolete. One carriage was scrapped, one was presented to the London Transport Museum, and the remaining four were purchased by the Bluebell Railway for £62 each.
