    According to WNXX (WNXX Interactive • Login), Galatea's full EVN number is 90700098699-3. Might need a bit of strengthening to the smokebox door to take that.

    Is it actually Galatea or at least a red Jubilee? Might have a ride out...

    Thanks, Neil.

    Wonderful news. Hearty congratulations to David Smith and all involved with this restoration of another alleged no-hoper.

    I am confused now, weren't a lot of people convinced that the red jubilee at Carnforth was Leander???

    Might be a red herring, but as it is now carrying the correct BR number plate, this may mean it's final livery will be BR green?
