2818 1950s Swindon Works

2818 1950s Swindon Works

Without steam external pipes, but the smokebox has previously had them. Another of the original and initial batch of Mr . Churchward's " 2800 " Heavy Freight design 2818 was chosen to form part of the National Collection in the early ' sixties , the oldest of her class with the original inside steam pipes as seen in this view.
Fllowing a cosmetic restoration 2818 was intended for display at Bristol but in the event went to York Railway Museum .
