![<I>Aarghhh.... the bells... the bells...!!!</I> Ex-GWR King class 4-6-0 no 6000 <I>King George V</I> southbound at the site of the former Oakle Street Station on the Gloucester to Newport line on 26 September 1987. This was, I believe, its last mainline trip before withdrawal. The locomotive still sports the bell presented by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in the USA in 1927 during participation in the Company's centenary celebrations. This led to the locomotive being affectionately referred to as <I>The Bell</I> and occasionally <I>Quasimodo</I>. No 6000 is now on permanent display at the NRM in York.<br>
