| Remarks & Notes |
| The locomotive was built at Robert Stephenson and Hawthorn's famous Forth Banks workshops in Newcastle in 1944.
Here the locomotive stayed into the 1970s, long after steam on the mainline network had vanished. It became well known by steam enthusiasts of the day but was finally retired in 1974 when it was saved from the scrap man and went on to a new life in Somerset. It finally returned home to Newcastle last weekend |
