Or is he.... (Rev Awdry suggested in his book on the Island of Sodor that Duck took the number of another Pannier before he went to the island). Be nice if over time if Accurascale did all the Railway Series locos, but as their real counterparts. Would get an Accurascale A4, Black 5, etc then.

Have 66001 and 66779 ever met in real life? Had a quick search on Flickr but found nothing. (Odds are they have been in same place at same time, but would be nice to see first and last together).

Also an old thread on here with some photos. Was one of those inspirational layouts for me when I saw it in Model Rail (possibly when that was still a supplement in Rail) :

An Irish A-Class in fictitious BR livery, done as an "homage" to the Class 33s and Hymeks models released in CIE livery many years ago. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive

Tweet here suggests Sleepers are in transit:

Throwing out a wildcard, but could it be an Irish Laminate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaching_stock_of_Ireland#Laminate_(1955–1984)
