Liberation Class

Liberation Class

The Liberation Class was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotives designed for heavy freight work in post-Second World War Europe. 120 were built by the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows.

They shared some features with the earlier WD Austerity 2-8-0 and WD Austerity 2-10-0 which in turn had been based on the LMS Stanier Class 8F. They were however built to the continental loading gauge, but the design was intended to last, not a short-term kriegslok. Ten went to Luxembourg and the rest to Eastern Europe, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration distributed them as follows:

* 10 to as Luxembourg as CFL Class 47.
* 65 to Yugoslavia as JDŽ Class 38; Duro Daković built 10 more 1957-1958.
* 30 to Poland as PKP Class Tr202.
* 15 Czechoslovakia as ČSD Class 459.0.
