As I neared the end of my track-side walk from Bletchley on Cup Final Day 1957, No. 46237 'City of Bristol' rushed past me on the 14.30 Euston to Liverpool - seeming to lack a chimney, which was wreathed in smoke - but the smoke-deflectors were doing their job. (No. 46237, never streamlined, was built 8/39 and lasted until 9/64).
