Just noticed on Bachmann's website today (25/08/2007) and sent them a quick
email, that the new Standard 4MT 4-6-0 that they're proposing to release in
the guise of 75027 is listed as having a double-chimney. However, I can't
find a photograph of it with such, only with a single chimney (both in BR
days and in preservation).

Can anyone confirm if 75027 ever had a double-chimeney?

Further to above
Certainly had a single chimney in 1962 when on S&D. Hardly think Western
Region would go to the expense of fitting one after that..

I suspect Bachmann will renumber their double chimney model to 75029 or
something, rather than release 75027 with a single chimney (at least not in
the first batch). Pity, as I would really like to have it due to having been
on the S&D in just the right period for me.

Aha! According to Bachmann's website for Branchline products
(http://www.bachmann.co.uk/prod1.php4?prod_selected=branchline&prod=4) the
item 31-115 (75027 in BR Green) now has a single chimney! I am now
officially a happy bunny... :-)
