Hello Hello Control and Pixie. John of Gaunt was built at Crewe in May 1951 (at a cost of only £18,000!) and withdrawn as you said from Carlisle (in December 1967). It was cut up at T W Ward in Sheffield. John of Gaunt was, I think, one of the batch (then allocated to the Western Region) that had the handrails removed from the smoke deflectors and replaced with handholds (photo will confirm or otherwise!) after the accident involving 70026 Polar Star when it was suggested that the drivers forward vision had been impaired.
