→Was 46512 a resident or not?: more thoughts
:::Interesting, thanks. Re-reading it, the Spring 75 announcement related to the imminent departure of an LMS Inspection Saloon (incorrectly described as 45017 but actually 45021) which was "...''due to make the trip north to the Strathspey Railway with the Ivatt 2-6-0 46512''". It's certainly worth having the information on the loco's stay somewhere on the Wiki; it wasn't visiting for a gala or engineering and it's not worth a separate page for locos stored in transit so here is as good as anywhere. I'll add a note accordingly.--[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 15:11, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
::::The Stock Book ninth edition p.99 has a footnote suggesting it went to Hereford before Strathspey. A search leads to a [https://www.flickr.com/photos/96836395@N05/33986193811/ Flickr image] of the loco there in 1981. Another, undated, image is [http://www.railwayherald.co.uk/imagingcentre/view/383204/LC here]. No record of a move date from the SVR though.--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 19:42, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::I'd missed that note, thanks for pointing it out. The [http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=802 Carriage Survey for 45021] suggest rather vaguely that it was "''on Severn Valley till 1975, then in store till ??''", suggesting it may have also gone also to Hereford before Strathspey. I've updated the page with the info you've found.--[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 22:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
