Not sure if a Brit needed the full 70' as I've seen a photo of one on Scarborough shed's t/table which I believe was 60'
If memory serves me well it was 70053 in a BRILL Annual
photo by Ken Hoole ; A tight squeeze mind!

Chuffed to say I managed to venture into East Anglia in February from Liv St behind 70013 to Norwich
absolutely well worth it on a crisp sunny day seeing new places and hearing the loco climbing Belstead & Bethnal Green
Best memory is a primary school playground full of kids lined up and waving to see us go past ..truly memorable for me
and lets hope for them too!

Brittania's and WC 4-6-2 turn fine on my Colchester layout 65ft turntable. However there appears to be only one record of a Brittania on Colchester shed.
