Mostly hidden on the left is one of the two units used for the Royal Train. I was in the UK at this time and had I known earlier about this event I would have gone there. There was also a Doncaster event this year (LNER's base). Crewe is of course the base for the LMS, the original owner of this Black 5.

I did see LMS #6201 in Euston about a week after this event so it partially made up for missing Crewe.

I have to share my grwoing interest in these. I think Black Fives and the CPR D-10's with lowered headlight are my all-time favorite 4-6-0's... based on looks alone.

Of course, I'd be remiss not to mention a NYC F12e in that...

I've always liked the looks of the Frisco's heavy 1400 class Ten-Wheelers.

I'd have to cast my vote for C&NW's R-1 class...

Don't forget the husky look of the PRR/LIRR G5s. Personally I like the LIRR ones better with the larger tenders that compliment the locomotive.

You are absolutely right, Roger, but put her in the pre-war paint scheme, with box somkebox door and graphited smokebox, along with red and gold circular number plate! These were the prettiest 4-6-0's ever built, in my humble opinion.

For those unable to travel to College Park, MD, how does one obtain copies of ICC engineering field notes for a particular railroad location?
I have been unable to surmise the process from the various websites.
