Probably this Dosser, positioning to Kings Cross for a jolly day out at the weekend.

Locomotive 44871 is a preserved LMS Stanier Class 5 steam locomotive that is also known by the name Sovereign. (which is only a Nickname as there are Two ) It was built in 1945 and is notable for being one of the last steam locomotives used by British Railways, hauling the final steam-operated "15 Guinea" special in 1968.

Was it a 'cop' for you Dosser or had you already had it underlined in your 1955 Ian Allan Midland region loco-spotters book?

You 'stunk it'. Thats a new phrase on me.

Did you take a jimmy riddle in the corner of the cab or pushed out a chocolate sausage into the firebox?
