This Nord 2-8-0 was cosmetically restored for a section of the museum about railways and war. It is displayed derailed and leaning over on its left hand side against a bank of earth as if blown up by allied or partisan action. In its working life it was a 4 cylinder compound, outside HP cylinders, inside LP cylinders and was at Bethune depot. As a freight loco the cabside showed a 40kph speed. An interesting end to its career.
