Completed at Darlington Works and entering traffic on 26th January 1938, this locomotive was originally named ‘Herring Gull’.
The name ‘Sir Ralph Wedgwood’ was originally carried by fellow ‘A4’ No. 4469, but that locomotive was destroyed during an enemy bombing raid at York on 29th April 1942. The name was transferred to No. 4466 on 6th January 1944, by which time it had already been painted plain black as part of wartime austerity measures.
