Robert Riddles Austerity class 2-8-0 90733 a study

Here a little photographic study of the WW2 War 
Department engine 90733


880 plus were built in preparation for the invasion
of Europe 


I believe three of the 2-10-0's survived but only
the one 2-8-0 


Being the only one the engine often bears the name
plate REMEMBRANCE


The only one of the 800 plus to survive thanks
to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway


A lovely engine and one which harks back to times
of conflict past
