    Strike that one then! I had a feeling after I had posted that 193 had been there at some time too, but maybe not.

    A flip side is which line has had the most as resident (excluding visiting engines for galas)? The Strathspey had 5 at one point, albeit only with one working.

    Technically a 16" Hunslet, a bit smaller than an Austerity...

    I think the two of you may be talking at cross purposes -one referring to the Iron Duke replica and the other two an Austerity that I believe the GWS have acquired for conversion to their own Thomas. I could be wrong though!

    I was referring to the Iron Duke replica… Was that not based on an Austerity?
