GWR 6800 Class No. 6853 Morehampton Grange

GWR 6800 Class No. 6853 "Morehampton Grange" was one of the 80 original examples of the 6800 "Grange" Class 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheelers" steam locomotives built by the GWR's own Swindon Works.
== History ==
No. 6853 "Morehampton Grange" was built in November 1937 and entered service right after it was constructed. It had operated on the GWR's system for a total of 28 years.
It was withdrawn from service in October 1965 and was sent to George Cohen & Sons' scrapyard at Cransley, to the west of Kettering. No. 6853 "Morehampton Grange" was scrapped along with all of its fellow sister locomotives.
== Trivia ==
* Although No. 6853 "Morehampton Grange" is gone along with the other 79 members of its class, an 81st member of the 6800s known as No. 6880 "Betton Grange" is currently under construction
