<u>British Railways steam</u><br>Gresley A3 pacific 60097 <i>Humorist</i> was a bit of an oddball in that she was the testbed for experiments with Kylchap exhaust, double chimney and smoke deflectors as far back as 1937. However, the condition in which she's depicted here is purely BR in origin as she was fitted with Peppercorn A2 style smoke deflectors in 1949 but it would be nearly a decade before many of the other A3's would be enhanced with double chimneys and a very different style of deflectors. This shot was taken at Carlisle canal shed in 1963 and one suspects that she had already reached the end of her operational days as she was officially withdrawn from 64A St. Margaret's in August of that year. Previous | Next<u>British Railways steam</u><br>Attributed to Fowler but with a liberal dose of Stanier on board Royal Scot class 4-6-0 46106 <i>Gordon Highlander</i> was unique within the class as it wore BR Standard style smoke deflectors (hence the image's inclusion in this BR set) instead of the usual contoured style. here we see her in an undated view traversing Dillicar water troughs. Note the Stanier and Gresley coaches within a consist of otherwise BR Mk I's.
