Scout related locos

Hi All,

I'm a looking into locomotives with scout related connection (name etc) and have so far come across these two

1. LNER B17 2846 Gilwell Park
2. LMS Royal Scot 6169 The Boy Scout

Does anybody know of anymore locos that have a connection with the scouts, or know of any photos of these two.

I'm looking into running a rail/steam night with my local scout group (for which im an assistant leader) later this year or early next year so any help would be much appreciated.

both rebuilt with and without smoke deflectors.

or if you want to spend a fiver The Power of Royal Scots: Amazon.co.uk: David Jenkinson: Books

 

46168 was "The Girl Guide" 46168_Castlethorpe_9-61 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! 46168 'The Girl Guide' | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

There are 4 basic guises; unrebuilt and rebuilt with and without smoke deflectors. The original engines had parallel boilers (i.e. the boilers were equal size at the smokebox end as where the boiler barrel met the firebox. The later rebuilds had 2A boilers and had a taper boiler, where the smokebox is less in diameter than where the boiler barrel meets the firebox.

 

GWR Atbara class 4-4-0 No.3374 'Baden Powell' springs to mind.

 

Also an "Atbara" 3382 Mafeking (where the boy messengers in the famous Boer War siege inspired BP to eventually form the boy scouts).

 

Brilliant, thanks people. Should give me enough to go for the evening im planning.

 

70045 was named Lord Rowallan, who was the Chief Scout 1945 - 1959

Thomas Corbett, 2nd Baron Rowallan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Don't forget Brittania 70035 Rudyard Kipling, the "Jungle Book" being the source of the naming of the rank structure of the wolf cubs/cub scouts ie Akela

 

IIRC the was a "Scot"............The Lovat Scout.
