Added a note to account for locos like 813 which had a later number under NCB ownership
Locomotives frequently carried more than one number during their working life. Renumbering came about through company mergers, in particular the Grouping of 1923 and Nationalisation in 1947 from which only the GWR emerged relatively unaffected. Companies also renumbered for other operational reasons, as happened to [[GWR 1450]].
Many locomotives have also carried more than one number in preservation. For consistency all locomotives are listed according to the last number they carried, usually that used by BR following nationalisation. Locomotives that were owned by a main line company and were sold for use in industry are listed under their last main line number. Locomotives that ran under a different number while at the SVR were:
