Excerpt: The War Department (WD) "Austerity" 2-8-0 is a type of heavy freight steam locomotive that was introduced in 1943 for war service. A total of 935 were built. The Austerity 2-8-0 was based on the LMS Class 8F, which until that point had been the government's standard design. Various modifications were made to the 8F design by R.A.

With the creation of British Railways, the 733 locomotives were renumbered into the 9000090732 series. Only one of these, No. 90732, was named, becoming Vulcan after the Vulcan Foundry where many of the locomotives were built. Two locomotives saw service with the Longmoor Military Railway in Hampshire, where they received the numbers and names 400 Sir Guy Williams (North British Works No. 25205) and 401 Major General McMullen. In 1946, 12 were exported to the British colony of Hong Kong to work the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Six were scrapped in 1956, but the final two survived until September 1962.
