THE CLASS 28!!
The class 15s were British Thompson Houston (BTH).
I stand corrected. I was a little unsure of my facts.
There used to be four BTH's at Finsbury Park shed in the 70's used for carriage/ loco heating units, but the numbers escape my failing memory.
Edit, found them
Original Number Departmental number Location Withdrawn Disposal[4]
D8203 DB968003 Finsbury Park (FP) 1981 cut up 1981
D8233 DB968001 Finsbury Park (FP) 1982 preserved
D8237 DB968002 Finsbury Park (FP) 1982 cut up 1985
D8243 DB968000 Finsbury Park (FP) 1989 cut up 1991

I was at the SVR Gala on sunday too. Here are a few snaps:
One of Gordon's little brothers - Austerity 2-8-0 90733
Auto tank 1450 which was doing "local" services between a couple of stations.
Exchanging tokens.
The LNWR "Coal Tank" arriving at Arley

The way things are going, quite possibly!
Seriously though, I wonder if they were fitted with steam heat
