Hi all

Just thought I might try this, as I'm very impressed with such games as the Three Word Trail on the Open Forum.

I start with a question about a preserved loco (the only ones I have lots of info about

) and whoever gets the right answer has their go next. After every 10 pages, I'll announce the one in the lead, congratulate them and PM them a hopefully good picture of their favourite loco as a well done!

Right - here we go (sorry if it's easy)

Where and when was D3462 (Class 08, WSR) built?

YAY!

What loco does the boiler of 6201 actually belong to?

prairie4566 · Post by **prairie4566** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 10:18 pm

46203 or a Duchess?

Just a guess

Yes, the boiler of 6201 actually belongs to 46203. Well done!

Phew - thought so, as she's another Princess, but that sounded obvious so I wasn't too sure.

OK - What is the boiler pressure of the 9F?

It's either 225psi or 250psi, I think
