Prototype A Day Out in York

[Rob R]

Well, we have all done it haven't we? I can only go back to blue diesels and the last of the Deltics but today we go back to April 1936, May 1937 and a quick visit to the May 1938.

?523 is a J6. If my info is correct the first number ought to be a 3 for this period, so it may well be 3623, as the GNR numbering ran from 536 up to 640.
