Manufacturer description

British Railways locomotive 35026 entered service at the end of 1948 and was soon allocated to the Stewarts Lane Shed in London. In January 1951 the locomotive was given the name 'Lamport & Holt Line' by the shipping company's London manager. The locomotive's home remained Stewarts Lane until 1957 when the locomotive was rebuilt with conventional Walschaerts valve gear and boiler casing.

Next, 'Lamport and Holt' was moved to Exmouth mid-year and then Bournemouth towards the end of 1957, only to be returned to the Exmouth Junction Shed in May 1959. Towards the end of its life 'Lamport & Holt' was moved briefly to the Nine Elms Shed in March 1964 and then to its final home of Weymouth Radipole before being withdrawn and scrapped in Newport in 1967.
