    63601 - the O4 - is another anagram and another LNER locomotive as well!

    I am thrilled to bits at this news. I jokingly said a few years back to a particular Trust member that the A1 Trust should aim to have one locomotive from each of the LNER CMEs in their stable - and now they do! A1, B1 and P2.

    I think I will get the wallet out for a driver course if any are in the offing for the B1 at the NNR. Would be a dream come true and I'd happily pay it!

    The numerical equivalent of dyslexia (word blindness) is Dyscalculia (number blindness).
    A friend of mine suffers from Dyscalculia, and she works for a Bank!

    So they need 3403 to go towards completing a full set.

    But don't ask about what number to give a K3 - wonderful range of variables.

    Great news to hear, it'll be nice to see the apple green B1 out and about more often.

    I must confess though, the first thing that crossed my mind when reading this news was, when will the B1 and Tornado come together. This would be especially irresistible since Tornado will be going BR apple green herself for next year, the two would look great together.
