Thanks for putting the Warship on the site,I now send another—although its none too sharp ,I hope it will be of interest.
This time we see D812 ‘Royal Naval Reserve 1859 –1959 ‘.Again I have no date but this loco. was built in Nov.1959 and as its still quite clean I guess it may be early 1960. This engine was originally to be named 'Despatch' Copyright Michael Forward
