Heartland Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 In this 1970's shot, it looks like Peacock had gained a railway nameplate to fit on the cab- was this the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Hogg Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Its a GWR nameplate which was removed when the owner sold the craft on. Peacock now rots away at the BCLM underused and like so many other floating exhibits in musuems would be better preserved on the hard in a building or covered area.

Heartland Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Ah, was it a GWR Bulldog 4-4-0 by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivergate Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Im sure she still had this when I visited with a mutual friend of the owner - think? early 90's.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie57 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 One of the two "Peacock" nameplates sold at Auction in Crewe in April for £9000, whether it was the one off the boat I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
