[edit] Prototype information
Between the Stanier and Austerity versions, almost 2000 8F locomotives were produced by the workshops of all the major railways and private contractors, making them the most-produced steam locomotive in British history (and even if you don't count them as the same model, the Austerity is still the most-produced, with the Stanier in the top five). After the war, 8Fs were to be found working as far afield as Iraq, Scandinavia and Hong Kong.
