30/06/1942 S.R. Class Z and the W.D. S.R. Class Z 0-8-0Ts 951/56 were loaned to the W. D. during period 2/42 and may not have reached Scotland until April. These would be the locos. seen on 26/9/42 as 955 was not loaned until period 10/42. They were allotted W. D. numbers 213/5 in numerical order but I do not think these numbers were ever carried. They returned to S.R. stock at the end of 1943. SLS/198706
