Renumbered to 35009 in August 1949 under British Railways following nationalisation the previous year, it was rebuilt in 1957 to a more conventional design and was allocated to Exmouth Junction, from where it was withdrawn in September 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57967274656128,"sku":"HOR-R30455-PO","price":169.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/IMG_4427_688d51a3-4904-4f52-9410-d40c353853ff.jpg?v=1777112402","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/hornby-r30455-po-pre-owned-r30455-sr-merchant-navy-class-4-6-2-no-21c9-shaw-savill-wwii-80th-anniversary-collection-steam-locomotive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
