History

Built at Eastleigh Works, this locomotive entered traffic in July 1942 as one Oliver Bulleid’s unconventional air-smoothed ‘Pacifics’ and named after Shaw Savill Line of London, a well-known merchant shipping company at the time. Turned out in Southern Railway black with green-shaded ‘Sunshine’ lettering, the locomotive was painted into traditional malachite green after hostilities ended.
