Designed for the LNER in 1936, all 184 class members were taken into BR stock in 1948. No. 60800 Green Arrow is the well-known, preserved survivor. Only 8 were named, though that included perhaps one of the best locomotive names of all – No. 60809 The Snapper, The East Yorkshire Regiment, The Duke of York’s Own.
John Dyer photographed three V2s - No. 60854 was at York on 26/7/60, No. 60872 King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry was at York in August 1956 and Doncaster on 30/4/62. No. 60939 was seen at York on 27/7/60 and Doncaster on 30/4/62.
