    Because there are two Black 5's there.

    That one is No. 45293. The group who own her also own Merchant Navy No. 35010 'Blue Star'.

    The other Black 5 is No. 45163. She has her own shed.

    There are a few pics of her on my fotopic:

    The Stanier cab is a bit of a clue.

    If you go to the previous picture in the series, it is of 35010.

    Just confirming what you said. The comment was aimed generally, not particularly at you.
