Heartland Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Noted at the top of Etruria Locks on Monday BW 507769 with the gauging attributed to Tipton April 8th 1898 Was this BCN 16151 GWR 87 ? and if so why a name TELFORD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mack Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Can't be a GWR boat - its not chocolate and cream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckbyLocks Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 87 is probably the year it was built. 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-M Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I presume it was this one Telford Built by Bantocks - Length : 18.288 metres ( 60 feet ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartland Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 The GWR boat was built by Bantocks, I believe, but in the modern image, if there are elements of the Bantocks boat, a lot of work has been undertaken in the restoration.

pearley Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 When it came past us a couple of days ago I didn't give a thought of the Tipton Gaugeing Station. I just thought it was a modern 'replica'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
