Windsor Lad with German smoke deflectors ???

Post by Meg Merrilies »

After 60104 Solario, 60035 Windsor Lad was among the first of the A3s to be withdrawn in September '61 and, I may be wrong, but wasn't that date a little early for the fitment of German smoke deflectors ?
Reason I'm asking is because of a photo I found online. You can have a look at the photo here.
The photo's caption states that the loco is Windsor Lad, but there are a couple of things that make me doubtful that it actually is.
1) - The cabside number is indistinct ~~~ the "3" just isn't convincing. :?
2) - The caption states that the loco was withdrawn in 09/61 then continues to state of the loco "seen here at Leeds Central, 1962." (1962??? ~ Ghost Train?) :shock:

So, what I'm really asking is --- was Windsor Lad ever fitted with German deflectors?
There ain't no cure for nostalgia!

That certainly ain't 60035 - It's 60065 'Knight of The Thistle'
36C - Based out of 50H and 36F

60035 had a streamlined non corridor tender right to the end!

I concur that the locomotive is 60065, also 60035 was never fitted with German smoke deflectors-see RCTS 2A

Windsor Lad was never fitted with German Smoke Deflectors nor a streamlined non-corridor tender, it was fitted with the 1930 high sided non-corridor type. Tender number 5567 fitted 10/6/34 through to withdrawal on 4/9/61.

The Dome on the 94HP Boiler is another clue. (94HP - from Memory ? :oops: )
