[[image:Rheidol Railway.jpg|thumb|No 8 ''Llewellyn'' apart from being allocated a TOPS code, it was also painted in [[rail blue]] livery.]] [[TOPS]] Class 98 has been used to cover all steam locomotives used on the mainline in Britain, but also has a particular usage for the three [[Vale of Rheidol Railway]]-design [[Whyte notation|2-6-2T]] locomotives that remained in the ownership of [[British Rail]] after the end of mainline steam traction in August [[1968]]. The locomotives on the Vale of Rheidol Railway were the only steam locomotives ever officially to carry the British Rail corporate blue and the double arrow logo. {{BRstds}} {{transport-stub}} [[Category:British Rail locomotives]]
