WD 2-10 0 no. 90775 at Quorn & Woodhouse, 29 June 2002. These locomotives were built during World War 2 for use overseas, and to enable them to run on light tracks were designed with 5 driving axles, giving an axle loading of only 13.5 tons. After the war BR bought 25 of them and numbered them 90750 - 90774. This one was brought back to Britain from Greece in the 1980s and was given the next number in the BR series.
