The London & North Western
Railway merged with the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway which, along with several other smaller companies, became known as the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company in

British Railways, by the 1960's. This could be seen reflected in the general appearances of the locomotives and rolling stock.
