    Beautiful model. Just to note, 555 hauled the funeral train from the Royal landing stage at Gosport (not Stoke's Bay) as far as Fareham, with the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway's 54 'Empress' taking over for the run from Fareham to London Victoria.

    Thank you for the correction I didn't know that, was only going on the notes that Dad left with the model. Appreciate you taking the time to update us. Regards
