Viewing error Mick?
4472 ≠ 4772
My concerns lie in other sections......see e-mail gents.

Don't think 4469 was named 'Herring Gull' when it was bombed. 4469 was named 'Sir Ralph Wedgewood' at the time, and that name was transferred to 4466 'Herring Gull'.Danby Wiske wrote:A4 Herring Gull and B16 925 were both destroyed in the York Station bombing.LNER4479 wrote:there are two locos on the list who share a grisly coincidence
Out for a duck perhaps?
But I never understood why there was a 'Seagull' (4902) and a 'Herring Gull' (4466) at the same time, or should 4902 have been 'Black Headed Gull', or better 'Greater Black Backed Gull' but there wasn't room on the smokebox?

The name you are after 'Robert' is Gadwall.

My mistake - it was Gadwall of course...

Yes it does say 4472 !!! since when has that been a V2 !!! it should I presume be 4771 i.e Green Arrow.

Re: East Coast Giants of Steam - Barrow Hill 8/9th Feb 2014
I'm delighted by the diversity of stock and I understand space and running limits, but no Green Arrow? ( As far as I'm aware from the list on this small IPhone screen ) Surely she could be shoehorned into one corner on static?

Re: East Coast Giants of Steam - Barrow Hill 8/9th Feb 2014
Wasn't she allocated to King's Cross and diagrammed exclusively to work the Scotch goods as far as Peterborough (only) during our period? Hence wouldn't be seen at Grantham in the normal course of events....60800 wrote:I'm delighted by the diversity of stock and I understand space and running limits, but no Green Arrow?

(Atlantic 3279 - quick! we need an excuse as to why the P1 made the list in that case....)
Do bear in mind the 'rider' at the bottom of the description - anything may turn up on the day
