It certainly was. So as per your request, the workshop floor is OPEN57 303 used to be 47 705, but I will declare an open floor as I am out and about tomorrow.

GWR Castle, LMS Ivatt 2-6-2T, LNER B1, SR West Country/Battle of Britain?
Which standard gauge steam loco operated by British Railways had the shortest name, i.e. containing the fewest number of letters?
45607 was called Fiji, but that isn’t the answer.I feel like this might be a Jubilee but I’m not sure which one. Pretty sure there was one called Fiji?
IIRC, it was an ex-LNER B1 class loco in the 61000-40 series which were named after different species of antelopes. I think it must have been 61018 "Gnu".
Indeed. As you k-now W-ho’s W-ho, you may set the next question.IIRC, it was an ex-LNER B1 class loco in the 61000-40 series which were named after different species of antelopes. I think it must have been 61018 "Gnu".

Close.....actually spelled Caprotti - but I'll give you that.Capriotti (as in vakve gear)?
Definitely correct for the first two. I wasn't aware that Cartazzi axle technology was applied to any BR locos, but every day is a school day! On that basis - and assuming that you would also have mentioned Caprotti - the floor of the officina is yours.Franco and Crosti of Franco-Crosti boiler fame and Cartazzi of Cartazzi axle fame?
