    I have obtained a collection of photos all taken in the 1930’s and early 1940’s of locos of the big 4
    This photo features Gresley P1 2393 at a unknown display as exhibit 15
    does anyone know what it was and when, late 1930’s possibly

    I wondered as the photo dates I have are from mid 1930's to early 1940's, and are mainly from the south of England

    I think on display at New Barnet in July 1937 is a good possibility as the photo I know was taken in the late 1930's
