Southern Railway 777 Sir Lamiel is an N15 King Arthur class 4-6-0 steam locomotive built for the Southern Railway by the North British Locomotive Company in June 1925 and withdrawn from service in October 1961. It is named after a fictional minor Knight of the Round Table, Sir Lamiel of Cardiff, who is mentioned in Book XIX of Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. No. 30453 King Arthur was first selected for preservation, but the lack of a Drummond water cart tender led to it being scrapped, so Sir Lamiel was chosen instead. It is preserved as part of the National Collection under the care of the 5305 Locomotive Association and has been based at the Great Central Railway since 1996. It ran passenger services there until 2017.
