History from Hornby's website:
Built at Eastleigh Works, this locomotive entered traffic in July 1942 as one Oliver Bulleid’s unconventional air-smoothed ‘Pacifics’ and named after Shaw Savill Line of London, a well-known merchant shipping company at the time. Turned out in Southern Railway black with green-shaded ‘Sunshine’ lettering, the locomotive was painted into traditional malachite green after hostilities ended.
Renumbered to 35009 in August 1949 under British Railways following nationalisation the previous year, it was rebuilt in 1957 to a more conventional design and was allocated to Exmouth Junction, from where it was withdrawn in September 1964.
