Now I always thought that the look of the Southern Railway Q1 was due to the armour plating and that the most famous of the "backing" decapod engines was the Lickey "BANKING" engine.

no armour plating on the Q1, it was built to be light.
a future entry will mention the banking engine

Would love to; have been reading about railways for over sixty years so something must have stuck in the grey,and if not I have a fair tonnage of books that usually provide the answer. Problem is I'm new to this site and at the moment have no idea of navigation but I've requested a sat nav from an ex BBC IT manager - you never know what he might come up with.
