I have added 75 new photos to the collection of Collett's 2884 class
https://railway-photography.smugmug...lett-2884-class-2884-2899-3800-3866/i-9xqT2kw
The Collett 2884s were designed for heavy freight work and differed from the original Churchward Class 2800 engines (Nos. 2800-2883) in a number of respects, the most obvious being that a more modern Collett side window cab was provided and that they were built with outside steam pipes. 83 of the 2884 class were built between 1938 and 1941. Those built during the Second World War did not have the side window to the cab, and the side window on the others was plated over. This was to reduce glare, as a precaution against enemy air attacks.

210/222 3863 Maybe Oxford. Interesting the train is formed of SR coaches. A through working to the DN&S perhaps

Cheers, Neil?
