If it had been an old orange boiler blowing off a lot of hot steam, then it would have been easy. David Dickinson.

IIRC, it'll be either the SECR O1 or the C (though I think the C is out of use at the moment, so it was probably the O1)

I'd almost decided it was an SECR C from gazing at the Observers book! Of course after the short glimpses at the prototype and the longer time looking at little grey photos, anything starts to look like my memory. I'll go look for an O1 :-)

It's probably here.

Thanks Andy, it's the SECR O1 _and_ the TV programme has to have been made in the last 5 years, as the loco only returned to service in August 1999!

I'll get me coat.
