Frappington Jct Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Hi all, Whilst at the NRM today, I noted a partially dismantled steam loco sitting on a flat-bed behind Deltic D9009 in the North Yard (?) and thus a fair distance from the nearest viewing area. I'm just a bit curious as to what it is, as I can't find any info on a comparable loco currently going through the works. It has a bit of an IOM Steam Railway look to it to me, but I'm no expert so I could be very wrong! I have included a couple photos below so that you can see what I'm on about! Many thanks Edited June 21, 2017 by Frappington Jct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frappington Jct Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thanks all - it's not actually a million miles away from my guess, as at the very least Scaldwell and the IOM share the same gauge! Now that I look closer at the photos I reckon I you can see the saddle tank in the background too, so maybe that should have given me a clue... Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
