LMR 600 Gordon, Longmoor Military Railway number 600 Gordon is a preserved British steam locomotive. An enormous engine it has a 2-10-0 design and was built in Glasgow in 1943.Gordon served on the Longmore Military Railway which terminated in the Hampshire village of Liss, the village where I grew up.

I later moved to Kidderminster and discovered that Gordon was now on the persevered railway which starts in the town; the Severn Valley Railway. No longer in service, Gordon is on display in the engine house at Highley.
