Longmoor Military Railway number 600 Gordon is a preserved British steam locomotive. It was built during the war to the War Department "Austerity" 2-10-0 design. After the war it was used by the Royal Engineers on the Longmoor Military Railway. When that closed in 1969, it was preserved on the Severn Valley Railway, where as of 2005 it awaits overhaul. It has been given a cosmetic overhaul and is due to be placed in the new Engine House at Highley with several other steam engines.

Most recently, it also serves as Gordon the Big Engine from Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends as part of 'Day Out with Thomas' events.
