    Looks like 40700, the last of the LMS 2Ps, based at Bath for most of its BR career. Guess it is being shopped at Derby.

    I don't think it's a 2P. Irish maybe? Ray.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    To be fair, I don't think Watson ever said they were based on the Stars -that's just surmise based on his coming from Swindon and the 500s being built as 4 cylinder. Sadly of course as built they were rather poor. As rebuilt to 2 cylinder, they were fine machines - a shame none survived.
