Preserved LU loco on "The Tube"
The loco is (I think) L11: it's 2 ends of driving cars from Tube Stock (of
the
sort which was, or possibly still, on display in the Science Museum, South
Kensington) welded together to form an electric loco for LT. It's
yellow-coloured - I am sure you can find a picture of it in old LT
stocklist
books (Ian Allan) etc.

The train in the science museum has long gone. When I was a nipper you
were allowed inside but in later years not. Then last year I went to
the Acton Depot where it now isand was allowed back in. Nice bit of
nostalgia

That's a great shame: the Science Museum has also lost Deltic, Caerphily
Castle, the Signal Box - does Terence Cuneo's superb painting of Waterloo
Station survive?
