GER Y14 Class No. 541

541 was a Y14 0-6-0 Steam locomotive built by the GER’s Stratford Works in 1888 for the Great Eastern Railway. 541 had an unremarkable life with the GER and was later renumbered to 7541 When the GER was one of the railways to be merged to create the LNER in 1923. But after being withdrawn 7541 and another Y14 locomotive, 7835, was sold to London Films Productions for their film Knight Without Armour in 1936. The two locomotives were moved to Denham film studios and underwent cosmetic modification to look more Russian as that was where the film was set. After the film they were sold to the War Department and worked on the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway as their WD221 and WD212. During their war service both were involved in incidents and returned to Stratford in 1944 and subsequently scrapped.
