43106 is an London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) designed, British Railways built; Ivatt Class 4. Designed by H.G. Ivatt, the locomotive is a 2-6-0 'Mogul' designed for Mixed Traffic work. 43106 is the only survivor of a class of 162. In their working lives they were often used on secondary routes and branch lines just like the Severn Valley for local services.
