1306 sold?

63601 - the O4 - is another anagram and another LNER locomotive as well!

I am thrilled to bits at this news. I jokingly said a few years back to a particular Trust member that the A1 Trust should aim to have one locomotive from each of the LNER CMEs in their stable - and now they do! A1, B1 and P2.

I think I will get the wallet out for a driver course if any are in the offing for the B1 at the NNR. Would be a dream come true and I'd happily pay it!

 

Looking forward to the Inevitable apple green double header any chance of getting Sir Bills Saloon re-registered?!

 

Well 60103 is an anagram...

 

And a Metaphor...

 

Not of 60163...? It might be a typo ;-)

 

Might need a diesel, 66013 ?

 

this all gets stupid doesn't it.

 

Stupid would be a 31066 rebuild..

 

Nor forgetting 03 166. The German version naturally.

 

Der Kessel ja, aber was anderes?

 

Maybe the Bratwurst on the firemans shovel ?

 

Mit Kartoffeln und Sauerkraut.

 

From the latest Railway Herald:
61306 has been sold by the Boden family to David Buck
It will be based at the North Norfolk Railway
It will remain main line registered
It will be managed by the A1 Steam Trust

 

Yes but they can't use 63601 as that number has already been taken !

 

The numerical equivalent of dyslexia (word blindness) is Dyscalculia (number blindness).
A friend of mine suffers from Dyscalculia, and she works for a Bank!

 

No surprise there then !

 

So they need 3403 to go towards completing a full set.

But don't ask about what number to give a K3 - wonderful range of variables.

 

Great news to hear, it'll be nice to see the apple green B1 out and about more often.

I must confess though, the first thing that crossed my mind when reading this news was, when will the B1 and Tornado come together. This would be especially irresistible since Tornado will be going BR apple green herself for next year, the two would look great together.
