    LBSC lived at 121 Grange Road Purley Oaks from 1934 till 1967, and was not sold till 1972 when Mabel died. It is a terraced house that now has a blue plaque. LBSC never referred to his home as 'Bedside Manor'.

    Cheers,

    Julian

    Despite working in minature he was elected to The Institute of Locomotive Engineers, he built the first loco fitted with Holcrofts congugated valve gear as a demonstrater - and being fairly openly transgender didnt seem to hurt his career.............

    Surely a Hall is just a Urie H15 backdated to Victorian standards of ease of preparation...

    he did build a loco he called "purley grange" ( a corruption of his address) as i recall,
    i built a Tich from a book of his almost 50 years ago,
    i often wondered what became of his loco collection, does anyone know?

    Well there are no operations to discuss for the next three months, so something has to keep this thread going.

    I see on FB that 6695 has vacated the shed at Williton. Is this because of Thornbury Castle?
