LNER Class A4 4483 ''Kingfisher'' was a Class A4 steam locomotive of the London and North Eastern Railway. ''Kingfisher'' was built at Doncaster Works in 1936 and entered service on 26 December of that year. It carried the name ''Kingfisher'' throughout its existence. After World War II it was renumbered as 24. On nationalisation it was allotted the British Railways number of 60024. ''Kingfisher'' was used in its final years to work express trains from Glasgow to Aberdeen, along with fellow class members 60019 ''Bittern'' and 60034 ''Lord Faringdon''. The last of the A4 class in common use, it was withdrawn for scrapping on 5 September 1966 from Aberdeen Ferryhill shed (61B). However, due to a shortage of motive power available at the depot on 14 September 1966, Kingfisher worked the 08:25 Glasgow to Aberdeen return trip which heralded the final revenue earning service for an A4. Preservation plans were halted when problems were discovered with the engine's firebox and the locomotive was cut up by scrap merchants Hughes Bolckow of North Blyth early the following year. == References ==
