    Just out of interest anybody know what happened to 34051's shed code plate. Seems to have been missing from the loco for quite a few years its seems after a quick Google search.

    Anyway well done to everyone down at Ropley that restored her. She looks stunning and will do so more when paired with the assembled Funeral stock at York.

    Should be 70E for Salisbury (post-1962 and after the closure of Reading SR shed).

    Seeing Winston Churchill looking all new and fresh certainly wets the appetite for when Swanage returns to steam.

    Yes and with the added benefit of perfectly smooth, dent free casing too. First time around the finish was fantastic as the casing was made by apprentices at Farnborough I believe.

    Well we have 8274 & 2874 and 4270 & 4027 for matching numbers for confusion!

    That is confusing. A small typo or look at it to quickly and might you not get the wrong engine you were expecting

    Reminds me of when Steam Railway described 60163 as a 'humble goods engine', rather than 63601! And with those two you've even got 61306 to throw into the mix!

    Middleton has had 1369 (GWR Pannier) and 1369 (HC 0-6-0T) in service on the same day. Has this happened elsewhere?

    MR 673 and NBR 673 (respectively the Midland Spinner and "Maude") were stabled alongside each other at Bold Colliery in 1980 for the Rainhill Cavalcade.

    I remember the morning at Grosmont in the summer of 1991 when one well known driver saw both 34027 and 34072 on the roster board and proceeded to prep the wrong one!

    Finally, I wonder if one day we may see 60163 (A1), 61306 (B1) and 63601 (O4) lined up together.

    All of which has absolutely nothing to do with Bulleid Pacifics. Sorry

    Clan Line sounded in fine fettle this lunchtime on the British Pullman.
    At Feltham, the Windsor service was far enough ahead that she wasn't being held, and routing through Richmond, rather than the Hounslow Loop and thus the speed restriction, must've been helping too.
    She was on-time through Feltham.

    The LSWR spent a lot of its time with two locos carrying the same number running simultaneously, since when a loco was "duplicated" (i.e. replaced by a newer loco in the capital stock list, but retained rather than scrapped), then the duplicated loco kept the same number, but with a bar placed above or below one of the figures. Some engines didn't even have the bar: at the grouping, numbers 741 / 744 / 745 were carried by both three Urie N15 4-6-0s and, diametrically opposite in size, three duplicated but un-renumbered Drummond C14 0-4-0Ts.

    No doubt other pre-grouping companies did similar things. I believe at one point there was a number carried simultaneously by three locos on the LSWR: the latest most modern one; the one it had replaced and therefore duplicated; and the original which was thus doubly-duplicated but still providing useful service.

    Not very Bulleid, I know...

    Hopefully not at the same time on the same railway! That would confuse the kids.
