LMS 8F

British Railways & Militarily Use
Built in 1935 and operated on the LMS mainline for cargo use. Continued to operate with British Railways until 1962 as a testing locomotive for the British Militarily. The Militarily's test took place on the rails of the AIR but failed and the militarily would ultimately abandon th 8F near Heureusemaneau.

AIR Modern
Rediscovered by the AIR in 1991, the 8f was sent to the engineering works to be restored and would be placed back in service later that year as a mainline heavy cargo locomotive.
