Rebuilt Bulleid MN "Merchant Navy" Class 4-6-2

In 1955 the British Railways Board gave authority for 15 of the class to be rebuilt (see notes in "West Country" page), and authority for rebuilding the remainder swiftly followed. In February 1955 Eastleigh works released 35018 British India Line in its newly rebuilt incarnation and the whole class had been completed by October 1959.
