The British Railways (BR) ex-WD Austerity 2-8-0 was a class of 733 2-8-0 steam locomotives designed for heavy freight.
After nationalisation, BR purchased 533 more 2-8-0s, including all of those on loan, giving a class total of 733.
BR considered them as standard classes,[citation needed] numbering them in the numbering series allocated for BR standard classes, assigned them the boiler diagram BR10; while their tenders were assigned the diagram BR5.
[citation needed] The engines were withdrawn from service as follows: None of the BR Austerity 2-8-0s was preserved.
This has returned to Britain via the Netherlands and Sweden, and has been restored to original condition and given the "BR number" 90733.
