History
LNER No. 2578 4479 "Robert The Devil"
Built at Doncaster Works in Nov 1924 as a member of the A1 Class.
No. 79 before being renumbered again upon nationalisation of the railways, becoming BR No. 60079.
As with other A3's, a double chimney was fitted in 1958 followed by smoke deflectors to combat the resultant reduction in visibility caused by the softer exhaust blast.
After a long service, the locomotive was withdrawn in Sept 1961 and scrapped.
