Talk:LMS Jinty 47383

Some comments on the Jinty's capabilities from SVR News. Not added to the article itself but for reference if required.

• Summer 1983 (pre-Kidderminster): When the brakes are repaired, 47383 will again be tackling 6-coach trains, although I fear the worst from previous experience and expect a few crews to come to grief with lack of steam (SVR News 68, Locomotive Notes, John Robinson)

• Summer 1985 (post-Kidderminster): Not used regularly due to increased SV loadings and small water capacity. Provision of Kidderminster supply could improve availability. (SVR News 76, Locomotive Notes, John Robinson)

• Spring 1987: 47383...is also being given a full mechanical repair, so that this locomotive will now be thoroughly capable of working 6-coach trains the whole length of the line. (SVR News 83, General Manager's Notes, Michael Draper.
