Hampshire Unit liked Fred Kerr's post in the thread Tender Austerity at Ribble Steam Railway.
It would appear that time has erased the memory of some on this thread who forget that HE2890 was converted by the MHR to be one of the "Thomas the Tank" locomotives representing Dougal as one of Dougal / Douglas twins hence joining James the Red...
