The London Midland and Scottish Railway Stanier Class 5 4-6-0, commonly known as the Black Five, is a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotives. It was introduced by William Stanier and built between 1934 and 1951, of which 842 were built.

18 have been preserved, of which 5 are still operational and mainline certified. However, I am yet to see one in recent years.
