    First of all was 92214 ever allocated to Tyseley? Secondly when 3440 went to York in the 1930's I know it was the LNER that made sure it was saved, so does it mean that 3440 was technically an LNER machine for a while?

    City of Truro was not saved by or owned by the LNER. I believe it was at the initiative of the SLS who were kindly offered a home by the Museum

    92214 was also allocated to Bath Green Park, although that seems to be missing from the data shown...

    Historically BR black is the closest to LNWR, the Premire Line, black. After the BR brass had been shown the colours the mystery loco colour was revealed - shiny blackbery black. When clean it was stunning.

    I'd seen the BR black before but not those smoke deflectors! It actually doesn't look too bad in lined black, although obviously a definite come down from GWR green with the lovely Indian red. Wasn't 3440 late for something that year which was blamed on the fact they painted a side of it BR black as a joke wasted time?

    It was actually painted black before its overhaul for GW150. Steam Railway then sat on the pics for some time.
