    I have added the final collection of Hawksworth's Modified Hall class : 7907-7929 (Built 1950)

    One of the locos in this collection has been preserved though it is being cannibalised for new build programs. 7927 Willington Hall is being used as a donor for the Grange and County re-creation projects.
    seen here in BR days
    7927 Willington Hall unknown location (later preserved as a donor loco for Grange & County new build).
