© Geoff’s Rail Diaries 2012 The household authorities would be going shopping in York. I could think of a better place to spend a couple of hours on this cold November morning I don’t think I’ve been for more than 20 years. Last time I was here, the main exhibition hall (which I remember visiting, unofficially, when it was the 50A steam shed) was closed, undergoing major repairs to the roof. The only part open to the public was across the road, in the building which is now an integral part of the museum - including its main entrance. No problems crossing the busy road either - there’s a tunnel now. I expected to see the streamlined Duchess of Hamilton, and I wondered if I might see (one of?) the temporarily repatriated A4s. In the event, 46229 was in the workshop, behind 502 “Flying Scotsman” - not ideally placed for photography. But what was that, just visible through a nearby window, parked outside? Yes, the classic A4 front, and the letters “DWI...” just visible. I didn’t bother with a photograph, but I suppose I could underline the number 60008 in my early-60s “combined volume”. Perhaps not - I didn’t collect any numbers after 11 August 1968, and I don’t need a notebook to remind that I’ve seen it, at last. That just leaves 60010 (and one or two others that I can never see now) Link: National Railway Museum
