This loco has an interesting history as it is one of the ex-GWR saddle tank locos that were sold to London Transport and operated engineers trains on the underground system well after steam was withdrawn from the main line. As such they were mainly nocturnal animals, but I remember visiting a friend's flat in Earl's Court and looking at them simmering ad the depot from his back window. Currently the loco is for sale - fully operational and main line certificated.
