==Was 46512 a resident or not?==
I've had a quick trawl through SVR News. When 46512 arrived by road from Barry in summer 1973 it was described as "...''only a temporary visitor, being destined for the Strathspey Railway''".<ref>SVR News 28, p.29.</ref> It left in spring 1975 after it had "...''spent some time at Bewdley being repaired en route Barry to Aviemore''".<ref>SVR News 35, p.8.</ref> It wasn't mentioned in the 1974 stock book, so my feeling is that it was here for engineering rather than being a resident.--[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 20:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
::Certainly temporary [https://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/7387673.back-on-track/]. The Spring 1975 date is probably wrong, this [https://www.flickr.com/photos/71592768@N08/8207234488/in/album-72157629575162112/ image] in the [[Image Collections#David_Rostance_Collection|David Rostance Collection]] shows it still resident in November 1976. The [https://www.heritagefund.org.uk/cy/news/steam-locomotive-heritage-lives-strathspey-line Lottery Fund gives 1982], also given in the [https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/46512-2/ Preserved British Steam Locomotives website]. If correct, does a nine-year temporary stay count as residence? It's not shown as a departure in the ninth edition. Happy if you want to reverse the entries., but if so I suggest a footnote?--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 22:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
