It was repainted in LNER Garter Blue in December 1937, but that was short-lived, as ˜A4s were painted plain black during the Second World War, and at the same time had their side skirting removed, though the blue livery was reapplied after the war. Renumbered 14 in June 1946, then 60014 under BR, the locomotive finished its career where it had started, allocated to Kings Cross ˜Top Shed in 1950, from where it was withdrawn in December 1962. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SAFETY WARNING \u003cbr\u003e Detailed scale model.
