No. 246 "Morayshire" at Eastfield in 1929
The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) D49 Class is a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives designed by Nigel Gresley for express passenger services.
The piston valve D49/1 locomotives were named after counties, and all but three ended in "-shire". The counties were generally those with LNER lines with a few minor exceptions.
The Lentz D49/2 and D49/3 locomotives were named after fox hunts. The first two D49/2s built in 1929 were originally named No. 336 Buckinghamshire and No. 352 Leicestershire. To bring them in line with the hunt theme, in 1932 these were renamed to The Quorn and The Meynell, respectively.
Nos. 318-329 were rebuilt from D49/3 to D49/1 in 1938. No. 365 was rebuilt as Class D in 1942.
Out of the 76 that were built only one, No. 246/62712 'Morayshire' has been preserved on the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway.
