English: Heavy shunting 0-8-0T at Eastleigh Locomotive Depot.
One of the only eight SR Maunsell Z class 0-8-0Ts, No. 952 (built 5/29, withdrawn 11/62) stands on the preparation roads at Eastleigh Depot in 1946 - pre-Nationalisation. Normally, the Z's were employed in major SR marshalling yards, but during World War Two three - not No. 952 - worked at Faslane Military Port near Stranraer. Displaced by Diesel shunters in the 1950s, they were found work at various other places, notably at Exeter where they were ideal for banking trains up from St Davids to Central.
