Subject: Re: LG45 / LG6 strange engine number
Hi Tim,
Perhaps the engine came as a batch of engines with the Meadows number and the S3 designation because this was part of a contract. My understanding is that the board, including the finance director, would "sanction" the order so this engine formed part of an S3 batch.
It might have then had the model number stamped in the factory as the LG6 float engine sometime later. No reason to change the S3 designation, it was still part of that batch. This might also tie up with the works orders.
All speculation until further evidence comes to light...
