Today, the nameplate of British Railways 34051 'Winston Churchill' was reunited with the locomotive at the Ropley Mid Hants Railway workshops, as part of the cosmetic restoration of the famous Bulleid Pacific. Jim Lester (fireman on the Sir Winston Churchill Funeral Train in 1965) was in attendance - see the BBC News website for the story - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-30536630
