Douglas Drummond[edit]

I wonder if there is an error in this statement - "She was launched on 26 April 1907[3] by Miss Drummond, daughter of Mr Drummond, chief engineer of the Highland Railway Company in the presence of her father and Mr. Douglas Drummond, chief engineer of the London and South Western Railway Company; Mr Drummond, jun". I think "Douglas Drummond" is likely a reference to Dugald Drummond who was the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LSWR at this time. He was the older brother of Peter Drummond the Highland Railway's Locomotive Superintendent. This might be something someone could check. I am also not sure who is being referred to as "Mr Drummond, jun", but I would not have thought it could be Dugald. Dunarc (talk) 20:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
