WD 2-10-0 no.90775 waiting at Sheringham, 21 Sep 2005. 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.
