'17 Florence Nightingale' sounds like a colloquial street address.
Is there any significance?

17 Florence Nightingale was the number and name of one of the Met electric locos like Sarah Siddons No. 12.

Some video footage of No.12 Sarah Siddons, No.7 Florence Nightingale (formerly LMS 45029), 73128 O.V.S Bulleid CBE and 73119 Borough of Eastleigh (formerly Kentish Mercury) on their way back to the capital courtesy of CoachAlex1996 (AlexMetroman). |

Florence Nightingale nameplates have been installed internally at either end of the coach...
She's been at Eastleigh for almost 10 years, having been obtained from EWS... and has quite a history, so is a worthy vehicle to join TfL in whatever role she will be used in...

17 Florence Nightingale was the number and name of one of the Met electric locos like Sarah Siddons No. 12. I was aware of the fact that Met. No. 17 was called 'Florence Nightingale'. I was wondering why an inspection saloon should be named, not after Florence Nightingale, but after a locomotive so named! |

Probably because there are only two Met locos in existance, one at Convent Garden, the other being used on tracks? A nice thought to remember a venerable lady.  |

I'll stand corrected If I'm wrong, the naming of the Met locos,weren't they named after people who had a link/lived in 'Metroland?' |

I must say it looks incredibly smart. This latest iteration of an LT heritage livery really does go well with the 4TC and this ex-LMS saloon being very close to the LMS's own Crimson Lake livery.

Slightly off topic, if you go though the pictures on the gallery linked, there is a tanker at the end. Looks like old 67/72TS bogies, being used as accommodation bogies. |

Some heritage moquette too, lovely! Can but hope in the fullness of time the 4TC gains that too.

I have just joined this Group having been drawn in by LT45029 as I have built three O Gauge versions of it in its previous incarnations and would now like to add a model of it 'as is'. The main problem as I see it, is the revised ETH equipment, there seem to be significant changes to previous ETH equipment. Therefore my question is, where can I obtain drawings of the latest equipment to enable me to proceed with my model?
regards
Mike

Hi all,
It would appear, from answers gathered elsewhere, that the ETH a refurbed original set up and the socket below the window is a ‘ control jumper socket’ so the ETH bits that I have will be fine for this model, I just need to source a pair of suitable sockets for the control jumpers and away we go.
Regards
Mike
