A short SD video of British Railways 2-6-2 Class V2 number 60800 "Green Arrow" arriving at London's Kings Cross terminus with an excursion train on a cold Winter's evening in February 2003. The preserved locomotive suffered boiler tube failure whilst in use at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway five years later in 2008. It has since been found to also have a cracked cylinder block. The locomotive is currently on static display at the UK's National Railway Museum site at Shildon and, although deemed repairable, no plans have been put in place to return this sole surviving class of locomotive to steam in the near future.
