Identity Crisis

Is it Galatea, Alberta or Sierra Leone? Different numbers on the smokebox door and cab side and not the nameplate of this Jubilee, the layman can easily be confused.

Not quite the conditions that the assembled gallery were hoping for, loco in the shade and a sunlit hillside behind as "The Dalesman" enters Dentdale. The lucky photters down by the tunnel mouth got it in full sun.

The loco is actually Galatea but motion parts did come from Alberta and the Sierra Leone nameplate is original.
