Back in action
One of the 18 Jubilees transferred to 17B Burton shed in November 1961 was 45585 Hyderabad. Looking at the external condition it seems likely that this was one that spent most of the time at Burton stored out of use. The winter of 1962/63 saw several stored locos brought back into action and here 45585 heads 3V20, the Derby to Bristol Parcels past the long closed platforms at Branston.
Despite the terrible external condition the loco seems in good mechanical order with a complete lack of leaking steam. Maybe the reason it was transferred to Derby shed in January 1963.
