DavidBelcher Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 interesting was this jinty... http://chris519.fotopic.net/p63182883.html Hmm - reminiscent of a J72's style of numbering. I wonder if it had paid a visit to Darlington Works at some point? David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hmm - reminiscent of a J72's style of numbering. I wonder if it had paid a visit to Darlington Works at some point? David There was at least one Jinty went through Darlington in the 1960s and came out with this style of numbering. I remember seeing a picture of it (in 'Modern Railways'?) at the time.

Adam Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 There was at least one Jinty went through Darlington in the 1960s and came out with this style of numbering. I remember seeing a picture of it (in 'Modern Railways'?) at the time. And it was this one (ironically, a Crewe based machine I think!). A tempting subject for a model, but falls into the 'one-off' trap... Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Colin Posted March 12, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2010 Pictures of 46243 "City Of Lancaster" in various stages of destruction are particularly poignant given that the loco was apparently the subject of a failed preservation bid - the story goes that the Wigan scrap dealer had agreed to resell the loco to (IIRC) Dr Peter Beet (later to purchase Ivatt 2MT 46441) but BR blocked the deal, invoking the clause stipulating that locos sold as scrap had to actually be scrapped. A tragic loss! Can anyone else substantiate this or add anything to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
