A coal burner, it was a post-war reconstruction design for heavy mixed traffic which lasted to the end of steam in the 1970's. Allocated to the Nord Region, it was scrapped in 1971.

A Pullman coach brass table lamp, the domed circular base stamped "PHOENIX". Complete with an original celluloid shade lettered "Pullman Car Company" and in full working order. "Phoenix" is a parlour car built at Preston Park Brighton in 1952. The interior decoration was specially commissioned from Mary Adshead; it depicted the Seasons and transport themes - all in collage work, of stamps, used bank notes and bonds. Apparently a favourite car of the Royal family, it was used for state arrivals and in the consist of the "Golden Arrow". It was withdrawn from service in September 1972 and is now in the VSOE train. This style of lamp, the rarest of all the Pullman lamp styles, was unique to "Phoenix" and is most redolent of the early 1950's.
