Adams T3 Class 4-4-0 No. 563 was built for the London and South Western Railway at Nine Elms in 1893. She was withdrawn from service in 1945, eventually becoming an exhibit at the Clapham Transport Museum, before moving to the NRM at York and from there to Shildon.
In 2017, she was donated to the Swanage Railway where it is intended to restore her to working order. Updates on progress can be found on the website www.563locomotivegroup.co.uk
