The WD Austerity - War Heroes
Hello all! :D
During the height of World War II, a need to provide additional motive power at the most desperate of times was answered by way of two rapidly developed classes of heavy freight locomotive, dubbed the Riddles Austerity 2-8-0 and 2-10-0s, machines that were otherwise generally unremarkable, but throughout their careers would see use all across the world, and even partake in some heroic actions during the line of duty.
