RMweb Premium Newbie2020 Posted December 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hi All, completely random question! My Dad, now in his late eighties, remembers collecting train numbers and names from Bury Bolton Street and Manchester Victoria during the 1940's. Whilst reminiscing about this he often refers to "Pats" and "Jubs". He remembers that by "Jubs" he was referring to Jubilee Class Locos, but cannot remember what "Pats" was referring to! Can anyone shed light on this? Merry Christmas! Clive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they were sometimes known as 'Baby Scots'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Some information here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Patriot_Class Might be of interest. All the Patriots were scrapped, but there is a new one which is quite far down the road to completion. https://www.lms-patriot.org.uk/ Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
