She's been sat in a scrap yard - probably Barry - for at least 45 years waiting for someone to claim her.</div> <div>  All I can tell you immediately is she's a Pacific. Means nothing, just the 4-6-2 wheel arrangement. Looks like she had streamlining.</div> <div> From what I've found, I have no doubt that she is a 'West Country and Battle of Britain' class Bulleid Pacific. Oliver Vaughan Snell Bulleid was chief mechanical engineer and designer for Southern Railways.</div> <div> Anyway, she has to be 34073 - '249 Squadron' listed as in Bury Scrapyard (not Barry as I thought) described as 'Unrestored and currently for sale'. I say 'has to be' because all the other</div> <div>  34s are either owned by someone or scrapped.
