LMS Princess Elizabeth at Reading

[s3an]

Mods feel free to move if this is in the wrong place.

As it says in the title this engine (or whatever) is sitting at Reading station and I know some of you will want to pop along and take photos, videos, bits of coal etc

[Idle chatter] Of course, it can be termed LMS Princess Elizabeth, but it's interesting to consider the loco belonged to (or at least ran in service for)

a) the LMS for 15 years
b) BR for 14 -15 years
c) private preserved owners for 50-odd? years

And some odd types who like copper capped chimneys are wont to argue it wasn't really even LMS, but one of their 4-6-0s painted red with a couple of wheels added.
