LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 44806 is a preserved British steam locomotive. It was built at Derby in 1944. Numbered 4806 by the LMS, it had 40000 added to its number under British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. 44806 was one of the last locomotives to be withdrawn from service, surviving until 1968, the last year of steam on British Railways. 44806 was an early candidate for preservation, moving directly from BR to the "Steamtown" collection at Carnforth, where it was housed in the same locomotive depot where steam's final fires had been dropped only recently. This meant that it was not subjected to the years of neglect and parts-stripping at Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, the fate of many. In preservation, it was unusually well-travelled between museums and lines, although staying in the North West of England; some years were spent based in Accrington, with working excursions to a planned preserved line at Helmshore. Although these exact plans never quite came to fruition after that station's closure in 1972, most of the line survived as what is now the East Lancashire Railway.

In 1973, 44806 was based for a short time at the newly reopened Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, as their largest and only tender engine, but operating a large tender engine was difficult on a line without a turntable. Whilst at Haverthwaite, 44806 was adopted by the ITV children's TV series Magpie and named "Magpie"; the Magpie programme was always in competition with the BBC's comparable Blue Peter programme, which had earlier adopted the LNER A2 Peppercorn 532 Blue Peter, conveniently built under that name. Shortly after this, a crack was found in the outer firebox. Haverthwaite did not have the workshop facilities for an engine of this length or weight, so it was moved, this time to "Steamport" in Southport; these were busy times for the British steam preservation movement, with many new projects and scrapyard rescues all competing for attention and money. As a result,'Magpie' languished. In 1983, Magpie was moved to Manchester and the Museum of Science and Industry, as a purely static exhibit.

In 1993, 44806, with its 20-year-old firebox crack, travelled to the Llangollen Railway, where repair work began. This work took three years to complete, with a return to steam on 15 September 1995, it worked on the Llangollen for nearly ten years, first back as 4806 in black LMS livery with red lining once again as 44806, wearing the BR "ferret and a dartboard" tender badges with red and white lining. The expiration of the locomotive's 10 year boiler certificate prompted another rebuild; the work this time was less serious, being wear items such as boiler tubes, firebox stays and worn tyres. The work was completed and 4806 returned to steam on 29 August 2007 and was back in service on 14 September; the new livery was again BR period. Since its initial preservation, 44806 had been owned by one man, Ken Aldcroft. Aldcroft died in 2003, 44806 passed to his daughter Ms Renee Wyatt. To commemorate Aldcroft's 35 years of preservation, 44806 was renamed Kenneth Aldcroft. 44806 Kenneth Aldcroft was working at the Llangollen Railway.

2008 was the 40th anniversary of the end of British Railways steam, of 44806's own preservation. In July 2013, the locomotive was offered for sale, was purchased by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; until January 2018 when its boiler certificate expired 44806 operated trains on the NYMR only between Grosmont and Pickering because it did not have mainline equipment fitted. It is planned to be certified to run trains to Whitby after completion of its next overhaul; as of August 2018, the engine is in storage awaiting overhaul

Joseph Hardtmuth was a successful Austrian architect and entrepreneur. In 1789, he invented a new kind of earthenware with a lead-free glaze for the tableware production, the so-called Vienna ware. In 1810, he invented an artificial pumice and years a version of stoneware, used to make mortars and other utensils. A flexible, unbreakable blackboard was produced. In 1792, Hardtmuth established a pencil factory in Vienna after he succeeded in creating an artificial graphite pencil by mixing powdered graphite with clay; until that time, whole pieces, cut from graphite, were glued in between wood and were imported from England. With the new method, graphite of inferior quality could be used in pencil manufacturing, lowering the price and making the product more accessible for the masses, his company Koh-i-Noor Hardtmuth still exists.
