Description On a not very nice day, GWR 2-6-2T No. 4566 with a long train of LNER teak stockΒ approaches a rather clutteredΒ Highley from Kidderminster on May 26, 2008. The edifice in the background is the Severn Valley Railway's Engine House, where locomotives not in service can be viewed. It had only been open to the public for a couple of months. No. 4566 was withdrawn from Plymouth Laira by British Railways in 1962.

No there are three preserved, 4555, 4561 and 4566. Plus the 4575 ones with the larger tanks.
