I burned 1 or 2 of those up in my time spent burning at Thompson's yard, and I admit to getting a bit of satisfaction out of breaking a couple up, which had given my a rough ride in my time at the branch, especially the Super D's

An engine similar to this one has been saved from the scrap yard, its been beautiful restored by East Lancs Railways, a.uk railway preservation for steam. Now painted blue and his name is "THOMAS" the tank-engine. In BR days, these engines known as "JINTYS" were used for shunt and banking duties.
