Your story is full of holes, not least of which is the bit about the final gathering. The "Whole Fleet" did not exist at the time of the final gathering, scrapping was well under way and had been since the first withdrawals.

Dude i'm just telling you what someone told someone I know, that's all! He's an 86 year old who spent his entire working life on the railways...so what does he know? I'm so glad you came along to straighten him out.
