Seen on a visit just after Nationalisation, No. 6927, as yet unnamed but became 'Lilford Hall' shortly afterwards, was a typical wartime product with blanked-off cab windows and no name, built 11/41 and withdrawn 10/65; GWR locomotives also had no smoke-box number-plate until after Nationalisation.
