[edit] Description and Usage
In UKRS3, the 8K is best suited to heavy freight drags of mineral trucks or other low-speed wagons, where its own low top speed is not such a disadvantage.
[edit] Replacement
The 8K has the highest tractive effort of any locomotive until it is supplanted by the Stanier 8F in 1935.
