View NE near South Bermondsey; No. 77311 is another of the 900+ 2-8-0s built for the War Department and sent to Europe after the OVERLORD operation and returned 2 - 3 years after the Allies' victory. During the first few months after their return many worked briefly on the SR; hence the white discs.
