    The Hughes Dreadnoughts were drafted to Euston-Carlisle after January 1922 as they were needed for the heavy trainsand, after rebuilding, on paper at least, the finest express passenger loco in the UK. Such a shame many pre grouping 4-6-0s were lost to preservation, all these extraordinary engines, we miss a Cardean, a G&SWR Manson, and we could have saved in 1950s a Highland Clan,a GCR B7 a NER B16 and a PoW and Claughton at least.

    I saw L and Y 2-4-2 50646 outside Bedford shed 15D in late 1956, I am sure it stayed there for a couple of years.

    There are photos of it working Bristol Docks in preservation. There are quite a few photos of them at Bristol.

    I think this is it at Radstock

    Having gone South, how far north did L&Y engines ever end up?

    Had the Dreadnoughts been fitted with Schmidt-type piston and valve rings, without Hughes' ballbearing bypass valves, I think they'd have survived a fair bit longer. They were certainly on top of the job after rebuilding. What a pity 50455 didn't survive.

    The Belgians really had a thing about massive chimneys, didn't they? This one is huge! The square-section chimneys looked most odd to me, but I am biased, being from England. They are still a think of beauty!

    I always wondered why Airfix modelled it with hydraulic buffers? Dumb question, I know...;)

    I have just sent Richard Greenwood a photo of 'his' Pug 51218 I took at Swansea East Dock on 2 August 1964, there were about 30 locos on shed but all were withdrawn, and included a SR W tank and four Q1s.
    Happy days.

    I wonder why they weren't fitted with sprung buffers? When first introduced I assume there might still have been quite a few pre RCH standard (1886) colliery owned wagons without sprung buffers at both ends so would be a bit of a jolt if they ever had to shunt them about.

    To prevent buffer locking on the very tight curves over which they worked.

    If you’ve ever had buffer locking and had to sort it out, you’ll know why.
