The last steam locomotive built by British Railways in Swindon works in 1960 and now exhibited here when not at another museum or out on the rails. She was earmarked for preservation from inception, to be held as part of the National Collection, commemorating the 'age of steam' before the changeover to diesel trains by the mid 1960's. I had a Hornby catalogue as a boy with this train on the cover (as painted by Terence Cuneo, if I recall correctly).
