\"\"<\/a>Merchant Navy class 35028 Clan Line<\/strong> was built at Eastleigh in 1948 and rebuilt there in 1959. When withdrawn by BR in 1967 she was bought in working order by the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society, so never languished in a scrap yard. She has been \u201cpreserved\u201d for rather longer than she worked for British Railways!<\/p>\n

Battle Of Britain class \u201clight pacific\u201d 34067 Tangmere<\/strong> (originally 21C167) was built at Brighton in 1947 and never rebuilt. Withdrawn by BR in 1963, she was sold to Woodhams Bros scrap yard in Barry, partially restored on the Watercress Line and completed at Carnforth, and returned to mainline operation in 2003.<\/p>\n
