Notes
Notes This locomotive assumed the identity of 4082 Windsor Castle in February 1952. 4082 was driven by King George VI from Swindon Works to Swindon station in 1924 and was deemed an appropriate engine to haul his funeral train. However, it needed more work than could be achieved in the time and so 7013 took it's identity. It was supposed to be a case of swapping back but in fact the swap never hapened and the two locomotives eked out their days in the guise of each other.
