One of numerous freight engines resting on the long sidings at the large Depot serving Whitemoor Yard is an almost indecipherably dirty ex-GER Hill class D81 (LNER J20/1) 0-6-0 BR No. 64688. It was built in 11/22 as GER No. 1283, becoming LNER No. 8283, later 4688 in 1946, withdrawn 1/59 - the first to go. The J20s were the largest 0-6-0s in Britain, until 1942 when the Bulleid Q1s appeared on the Southern.
