Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.  90733 is one of a large number of locos built 1943-1945 to a wartime 2-8-0 design, and known as the War Department Austerity class. When new it was shipped to the continent for troop and supplies movements. At the end of the war it was sold to Netherlands State Railways, and re-sold in 1953 to the Swedish State Railways. It did not operate there for long, but was kept in reserve, under cover, until 1972 when it was acquired by the KWVR, returning to the UK in 1973.
