    It's not O class because I've seen a pic of one with a dome that's too large for this one, a brass GWR-style safety valve, and a different cab profile. The only other HR 4-4-0Ts I've read of are the P class and the "Yankee Tanks", no pics seem to be available.
    But you probably found that out already, Neil.

    Could it be a North British 4-4-0T on loan to the HR?

    BTW, have you seen my question on your Midland Railway thread on this forum?

    Thanks, I stand corrected. Perhaps the photo I saw was of a model? Made by a GWR fan with imagination?
