 Framlingham the Locomotive

Framlingham on Ingrave summit in 1929Shown here on the left climbing Ingrave Summit in 1929 is LNER locomotive number 2803 Framlingham.  She was B17 Sandringham class and built in December 1928 but in October 1946 she was rebuilt as B2 Thompson class and her LNER number changed to 1603.  After nationalisation her BritishPost nationalisation Framlingham possibly in Colchester Rail number was 61603 and she was finally taken out of service in September 1958.  No Sandringham or Thompson class locos have survived and as Framlingham station was always at the end of a spur it seems unlikely that Framlingham ever visited Framlingham?

13th August 1949 at Romford Framlingham as a B17 on a 1 shilling jigsaw
