Early days at Pitsford
Early days at Pitsford

Early days at Pitsford, on the Northampton and Lamport Railway. Class 27 no 27024 at Pitsford sidings on 18 August 1991 -r that's what I recorded in my notebook. 27024 was the former D5370 and is now preserved at the Brechin Railway, but was 27024 ever located at Pitsford? 27056 (ex-D5401) was at Pitsford for some years - I first photographed it there in 1988 - but os now located at the GCR.

So is this 27056, and I have simply written down the wrong number, or did 27024 ever visit Pitsford in the early days of the railway, possibly before preservation at Brechin?

To add to the confusion I actually wrote in my notebook for this day "27024 (968024)". 968024 was the departmental number carried by 45017 before it was scrapped in 1993, but 27024 was numbered 968028 in the departmental series after its withdrawal from traffic, whereas 27056 was never renumbered in the departmental series....
