History

Pannier was built in Swindon between October 1949 and May 1955. She was first allocated in March 1951 and was withdrawn in August 1966.

She was purchased for preservation in November 1967 by the Dart Valley Railway. Pannier was acquired for the Kent & East Sussex Railway in July 1992. She is now owned by the Railway, but she has never carried the Railways fleet number, except when playing the part of Duck on 'Thomas' weekends the number 8 is displayed. As part of Panniers 'Thomas' persona a Swindon green livery and GWR lettering have been applied.

The original Pannier can be seen at Kent & East Sussex Railway, Tenterden Town Station, Station Road, Tenterden, TN30 6HE England. T: + (0)1580 765155 W: www.kesr.org.uk
