Original Number
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 10:56 pm
Hi.
In building my 7mm scale model of Gresley's A1 'Robert the Devil' which was out shopped from Doncaster in July 1923, can any one tell me if it would have been designated with the running number 4479 straight away or did it have the number 1479. If 4479, I assume the number was on the cab side, and if 1479 it was on the tender only.
Many thanks for any help
