Many thanks Miss Prism for pointing that out....me bad.

So sorry coachman that the search must continue, but no doubt someone

Somewhere must have the correct evidence for you.

Bit like the X files really!

Hi Larry

Yes, 8727 did have a top feed looking at this photo at

masterpiecemodels.co.uk/index.php

although this looks like it was taken in the preservation era.

Look under the models for sale heading and click on the 57xx/8750

Hope this is of help to you.

Apparently there was a reported sighting of 30691 hauling the 3.13pm Padstow 'Perishables' in October 1960, but would agree with others, that they were rare west of Oakhampton. During the winter months some of Exmouths allocated 700's were fitted with snowploughs in case they were needed for line clearance duties, but have never seen any photos of them on the North Cornwall line.

Good price and being a kit lends itself to doing some upgrading/superdetaling.
