I always believed that K2 61756 was transferred to 34A Kings Cross Top Shed from 40E Colwick on the 29th January 1961 as a working locomotive in the sense it was used to pull trains.
However a very knowledgeable friend tells me it was just a Stationary Boiler for the duration of its time there until 22nd June 1962.
Does anyone know what is the right answer to it's time at the Cross.

Re: k2 61756
Seen a couple of mentions of this en passant on the lines of '61756 was stationary boiler at 34A from January 1961'. I won't swear to it, but I have a recollection of having seen colour footage of 'the last K2 being towed away to the breakers' somewhere in the KX inner suburban area.
