WAR DEPARTMENT/MINISTRY OF DEFENCE LOCOMOTIVES
I have included here pictures that I have of war-built or requisitioned locomotives whilst in War Department use. Engines later sold for use by the railway companies and bearing their numbers are included in those galleries. These pictures are published for pleasure/information/research purposes only and are not for sale or copy under any circumstances. Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
