Summary edit

Description LMS Stanier "8F" 2-8-0, built by North British ( Works No.24607) in 1940 for the War Department as an "interim austerity" loco and numbered by them 307; it was intended to ship it to France but the Fall of France resulted in it being allocated temporarily to the LMS as No.8233 before being sent to Persia in 1941 where it became Persian Railway No.41.109 and worked on the very difficult Trans Iranian Railway. In 1944 the WD moved it to the Suez Canal Zone where it was numbered No.500 before return to England for work on the Longmoor Military Railway as No.70307. In 1957 the engine was bought by BR as No.48773. It was one of the very last steam engine to be withdrawn by BR, and the last "8F", when it was withdrawn after hauling a steam special on 4 August 1968. Now in the Highley Museum, 9/11.
