27007 and 25067 I think. I remember the 27 had a fire sometime after.

You’re absolutely right Mr Hill.

Over to you to spark the next question.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Open floor……

 

[D6130]

Continuing on the theme:

Which was the last class 27 locomotive to remain in service with BR? (Bonus points if you can also give its pre-TOPS number).

I can’t do the pre TOPS number, but was it 27059?

They all went at once, but I think 27008 might have been the last. Pre TOPS number would have been 53xx, but no idea exactly

Sorry.... afraid not!

27 008 is the correct answer....originally D5354. Your turn to storm the bank from Craigendoran Junction to Helensburgh Upper!

Or burst into flames in Queen Street tunnel!

What was the cost in pounds to the nearest thousand, of D8000, the first Class 20 type 1 locomotive, when it was released to BR from Vulcan foundry in June 1957?

 

[D6130]

£60,000?

 

[D1511]

£60,000?

I'll give you that, as you're just over a grand out. £58,143 was the precise sum.

Chop us up the next question please!

Thanks. Continuing with the 'Chopper' theme:

What was the pre-TOPS number of 20 128?

 

[Peterthegreat]

D8128?

 

[RDP]

D8050?

 

[D6130]

D8128?

No, because....

D8050?

....is correct. Your turn to whistle away!

 

[RDP]

Cheers.

Staying with pre TOPS numbers.

Which was the lowest numbered class 47 to be rebuilt as a class 57?

 

[D6130]

47 125?

 

[RDP]

47 125?

No. That was formerly D1715 and was scrapped in 2002 as a class 47.

Just to clarify I am looking for the original pre TOPS number.

 

[xotGD]

I'll start at D1100 and keep going...

 

[RDP]

I'll start at D1100 and keep going.

You will have a long way to go

[Peterthegreat]

I'll go in the middle.
