sir douglas Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 hi, Now I do not care for sport at all, but as a note of historical interest, recently GBRF 66738 has been named Huddersfield town with what look like replicas of the ones that it's LNER B12 counter-part had, and unveiled by local legend Patrick Stewart. http://www.htafc.com/news/article/club-news-sir-patrick-stewart-locomotive-1765315.aspx Regards, Sam.

eastwestdivide Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 From the linked article: To be invited to unveil an engine with Huddersfield Town as its nameplate connects all the principle reasons I am still part of Huddersfield; the University, the Club and my passion for trains. I was a train spotter – I had all the books – and I always wanted to see an engine that was a ‘namer’. Well who'd have thought it! Anyone completed the Platform 5 Starfleet stock list book?
