A North British freight design with an individual history
SRPS records Mathew Holmes's design for general freight duties, Maude's 1915 rebuild, wartime service in France, 1919 naming, later LNER and BR numbers, withdrawal in 1966 and preservation. That establishes the locomotive and its company lineage without assigning an unsupported Scottish route or named train.
