would it be renaming, or providing replacement plates?

That’s it and apologies for not spotting your answer earlier. Over to you.

As I can't immediately think of a question, happy to pass floor to Peter the Great, or declare open floor

 

[xotGD]

If I may...

Where on the rail network would you find Allerdene Junction?

 

[Ashley Hill]

Given your user name,Gateshead?

 

[xotGD]

Given your user name,Gateshead?

Correct!

It is (or was?) the name of the junction where the line from Carlisle splits just after Dunston station. Turn left for Newcastle, turn right for Tyne Yard and the south. The line into Norwood Coke Works used to branch off to the right here too.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Having just consumed a large roast I’ll declare open floor.

 

[Spamcan81]

What was unusual about the wheel arrangement of the GWR Kruger class locomotives?

 

[Gloster]

First 4-6-0 in England: see #12,158.

 

[Cowley]

First 4-6-0 in England: see #12,158.

Were they the outside framed ones?

 

[Spamcan81]

First 4-6-0 in England: see #12,158.

Not the answer I’m looking for.

 

[xotGD]

All wheels the same size?

 

[Peterthegreat]

They had 2 different wheel arrangements.

 

[Spamcan81]

They had 2 different wheel arrangements.

Correct. The first of the class was a 4-6-0 but all subsequent members of the class were 2-6-0.
The keys to the design office are yours.

I am not aware of any GWR locomotive with that name, only the Warship.

Is it then Yeoman something or other? Yeoman guard perhaps?
