LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 5231 (British Railways no. 45231) is a preserved British steam locomotive. In preservation, it has carried both the names 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment and The Sherwood Forester, though it never carried either of these in service. The LMS Class 5MT - The Black 5 - was an enormously successful design. The class is credited to William A Stanier, appointed CME of the LMS in 1932. In total, eight hundred and forty-two of this ubiquitous, mixed traffic locomotive were built, the majority by the LMS themselves at Horwich, Derby and Crewe, and some by contractors Armstrong Whitworth and Vulcan Foundry. The first of the class was built in 1934 and the last in 1951. They worked for British Railways in almost every part of the UK. A relatively straightforward, 2 cylinder 4-6-0, they were economical to maintain.
