I've just bought  one of the new Hornby 2-8-0T's and wondered if anyone knows whether any of these were ever allocated to St. Blazey shed. I know some of the 42xx were and that occasionally a 52xx would be sent down to cover for maintenance etc. The one I have is no. 5274. It looks like an excellent model although I haven't run it yet, still laying track on Trevennan, which is another story at the moment. Thanks in advance.

looking at the shed allocations of 1947 i couldn't find it, and so after looking at the web I found some information saying this loco was rebuilt as a 2-8-2t at some date, I could give the allocations to St Blazey for 15 June 1947 if you would like me to.

Many thanks Aaron, gives me some ideas for the other locos for the layout.
