Lady Anne dating query

[Killian Keane]

Hi all, its been a fair old while since Ive posted here and I apologise, but I come seeking expert guidance, Ive recently bought an older generation Lady Anne, but clearly newer than the Meths fired or slip eccentric era, there is no water filler under the dome and as you see the smokebox is smooth rather than the riveted style thats been produced for 20+ years, would anyone have a better idea when they were making them in this style?
Id also be very interested on the off chance that anyone knew this specific locos history, nicely lined out and sporting the name Lady Sandra
Thanks all
Killian

There is a 'History and Museum' page on the Roundhouse website, on the 'About Us' drop menu, on the home page. It is set up as a timeline with photos.

Looks like your model was built somewhere between 1988, when Lady Anne and Dylan were upgraded with internal gas firing and Walschaerts vg, and 1995 when Lady Anne was again upgraded with new bodywork and the current FG gas burner, but Dylan was withdrawn.

If the owners manual has disappeared, the relevant one is downloadable from the website.
