:::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)
::::::That SB9 note also says 45021 (and the two other Longmoor saloons 7803 and 7913) went to Horsted Keynes, but again the move is undated).--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 16:05, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::This is where it gets confusing! There were two carriages in the stock book referred to as 45021. [http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=802 LMS Bogie District Engineer's Saloon 45021] was definitely so numbered and eventually went to Strathspey. An [http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=578 LNWR Six-wheel Inspection Saloon, later Army 3005] was, according the the stockbook and carriage survey, also numbered 45021 at one point. The latter was one of 3 which came on loan with Gordon and all left for Horsted Keynes, as you say.--[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 16:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
