The Quincy Class was built to surpass the Charleston Class as the premier scouting cruiser of the Jeffersonian Navy. She was fitted with a number of floatplane catapults for scouting purposes, and was well armed, with 10x 6" guns, as well as 6x 5" Dual Purpose guns. They were designed for long range scouting, power projection, and commerce raiding.

The suspended troughs seen above the locomotive were known as blast boards. They were designed to disperse the powerful blasts of smoke and steam emitted by steam locomotives in order to prevent (among other things) the possibility of blowing out the glazing in the roof canopy, although due to the height of the trainshed this was never a problem at Preston. Their secondary purpose was to reduce the buildup of soot in the roof sections. They were once a common sight at principal UK railway stations. The boards were removed from Preston in the mid 1930's. This photo shows them being used to good effect breaking up the jet of steam blowing off from the safety valves of the LNWR engine.
We acquired this JWS Paramount through a friend because of its quirkiness in December 2015 but was sadly scrapped in September 2017 due to chassis rotting out.

Preserved former Edinburgh Corporation Transport 314 JWS 594, a Guy Arab II 6LW built 1943 with a Duple / Nudd FH31/24R body turns from Rochdale Road in Todmorden onto Halifax Road taking part in the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society’s Trans Pennine Run. Sunday 5th August 1973
Note, JWS 594 was originally operated by the London Passenger Transport Board as a class 3/3G5 vehicle carrying a Park Royal H56R body with the fleet number G77 and registration GLL 577. It was withdrawn from service in February 1952 and stored, and acquired by Edinburgh Corporation in April 1952. The chassis was rebuilt and a new body (the lower deck was built by Duple and the top deck was built by Nudd Brothers & Lockyer) was fitted in March 1953. It was registered JWS 594 on 10th March 1953 and entered service as number 314. It was withdrawn from service in 1969 but retained for conversion to a tree lopping vehicle. The conversion was not carried out and it was acquired for preservation in 1972
