British Rail Class 98

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No 8 Llewellyn apart from being allocated a TOPS code, it was also painted in rail blue livery.

TOPS Class 98 has been used to cover all steam locomotives used on the mainline in Britain, but also has a particular usage for the three Vale of Rheidol Railway-design 2-6-2T locomotives that remained in the ownership of British Rail after the end of mainline steam traction in August 1968. The locomotives on the Vale of Rheidol Railway were the only steam locomotives ever officially to carry the British Rail corporate blue and the double arrow logo.
