92220 Evening Star, the last steam locomotive built by British Railways.

Evening Star was built in Swindon in 1960. She was given a special livery of passenger green, unlike other members of her class of heavy freight locomotive which were painted black, and named Evening Star after a previous locomotive on the Great Western Railway and consistent with the naming of the BR standard class 7's. Although steamed since her retirement from BR, Evening Star is currently a static exhibit at the National Railway Museum, York.
