An LMS Numbering Conundrum

[cctransuk]

 

At 20.35, a supposedly brand new loco emerges from the works - a Black 5 or 8F, I think.

 

However, it is clearly numbered 3134, and carries LMS lettering on the tender.

 

Explanations, theories, etc. invited; (.... and no, it's not WD / LNER 3134; later 63134 and 90455).

8F.

 

Didn't some of the on loan LNER allocated ones get numbers in the LNER number range? Before the LNER 1946 renumbering.

 

Details here.

The LNER numbers are on the page you've linked to, but they're mixed in with details of all the other construction batches. Here they are, separated out:

Thanks for that; I'd forgotten about LNER Class O6; looking at the film again, the tender carries 'NE'.

 

Interesting that it carries an LMS-style smokebox door numberplate, despite being built at Doncaster.
