    Location unknown 3 is Crewe Heritage Centre the locos mentioned were on display for the opening summer of the centre - which i think was in 1987 or 1988. I used to have a window sticker that had the date on it, but that and the window it was stuck to have long since been sent for recycling! Other locos on display included Whiston
