The only preserved LMS Stanier Mogul, former London, Midland and Scottish Railway number 2968.

The Stanier Mogul is a class of 2-6-0 mixed traffic steam locomotive. 40 were built between 1933 and 1934. They were developed from the LMS Hughes Crab 2-6-0 with the addition of several features brought over from the Great Western Railway by newly-arrived Chief Mechanical Engineer William Stanier, most notably the taper boiler. This locomotive type was removed from service between 1963 and 1967, with only one preserved.
