STQ1 0-6-0 Austerity gets its peculiar looks because it’s a prime example of function over form, built during the middle of World War II, it had to use as little resources as possible whilst also being powerful. It’s got some unsavoury nicknames as a result of this, such as ‘ugly duckling’ but I think his strange look represents the stress of the era he was built in
