    I did suggest that to some of 6024's support crew when I bumped into them at German plandampf. German locos have cast plates as well, so the fixing holes are already there in the cab side! Assuming it would be a 38, being a 4-6-0, then it could be 38 6024-4...

    Br 38 were mixed traffic. I imagine that your name has already been put on the list for re-education by the GWS :D
    Br 17.xxx seems more like it.

    This is the correct pathing and times for the Dukes loaded test runs, 7th, 8th (members train) and 9th October.

    If all goes to plan we will be hauling the Chairmans train to Carlisle on 10th and return light engine on 11th.
