    Neil scan 0276 doesn't look like Fort William, more like behind platform 2 at Bridgnorth on the Severn Valley Railway

    Agreed - 0276 is the store line at Bridgnorth [SVR]; note also that images 485 / 476 / 747 / 2156 are at Keighley [KWVR] and the 11th [unmarked] image is taken at Highley on the SVR

    Does anyone know what the history of the bell on 3442 was? I saw that it came from the Pennsylvania Railroad (as the K4 pacific was their iconic locomotive - and the pattern of the bell is entirely consistent with a PRR bell), but when was it put on the loco, when was it removed?

    Hello QLDriver, I was an apprentice fitter at Neville Hill Depot, Leeds, (55H) from 1962 to 1968. I fitted the bell in question to the Great Marquess whilst it was at Neville Hill. I cannot remember the date I fitted it, but I think it must have been around 1963. I remember it was from the Pennsylvania Railroad. I do not know anything about it's removal or what happened to it after that. Hope this is of interest to you. Melvyn Dixon.
