Built as part of Lot 282, Second locomotive with the new larger design cab but still featuring early details such as tank fillers. Our locomotive was built without topfeed but had it fitted probably around the same time that it was repainted in to black as it continued in this condition for some years in to BR use, just with the addition of a smokebox numberplate.
