Locomotive History
‘Gordon’ was built for the Ministry of Supply in December 1943 and delivered as number ‘365’, renumbered as ‘73651’ with works number 25431. ‘73651’ was the only WD 2-10-0 which stayed on the UK mainland throughout the conflict of WW2. Once the war had ended ‘73651’ was used by the Royal Engineers at the Longmoor Military Railway for training. It was renumbered as ‘600’ and named ‘Gordon’ in honour of the Royal Engineers most famous General, Charles Gordon.
By the 1960s ‘600’ was the last operational steam locomotive at the LMR and was used for many enthusiast special workings as well as a mainline run between Woking and Liss on 30/04/1966. Once the LMR was officially being shut ‘Gordon’ was rehomed on the Severn Valley Railway where it is part of the home fleet. ‘600’ is currently on display in the Engine House at Highley awaiting a major overhaul.
