Talk:GWR 2900 Class 2999 Lady of Legend

New Build
I've removed reference to it being the second new build project at Didcot. This is subjective, firstly because the locomotive is arguably a rebuild, with many reused parts, and secondly because both Broad gauge engines and the Steam Railmotor at Didcot were completed earlier than the Saints, albeit one of the Broad gauge locomotives elsewhere, so even if one wishes to categorise it as a new build its arguably the third or fourth. 212.159.44.170 (talk) 17:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Original Parts
Very difficult to categorise GWR standard parts such as rods and whistle as being 'from' Saints. The parts had certainly been used on Saints at some time, but that's a subtly different thing. The ex 2906 connecting rod, for instance, is a revised 1930s design, not an original component, and was more recently used on a28xx. The tender frames are also a 1930s design. I was unable to establish whether it was one or both whistles that had been previously fitted to 2910, so left the text ambiguous. There are various other standard parts on 2999, most notably components which have been used on various Halls and came with 4942. 212.159.44.170 (talk) 17:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
