Clearly HNG was happy to help sell his suppliers’ wares, possibly seeing this as an aid to development by way of increased revenue, and here we have a delegation from Romania, led by General Mihail Jonescu, Director-General of the Romanian State Railways on November 9th 1931, platform 11 Kings Cross. “Royal Forester” formed a special to Hatfield. HNG is seventh from the left and his close friend and boss, Sir Ralph Wedgewood, Ex NER incidentally, is fifth from the right, and clearly of the same mind.

Sir Ralph had extolled the virtues of the Sentinels very publicly in other arenas;

“Beaumont [in his 1927 paper to the institute of locomotive engineers] sited part of Sir Ralph Wedgewood’s presidential address to the Railway Students Association in which he stated after noting experiments have been made the in use of autocar (push and pull trains) with petrol cars and with the Sentinel steam car which give promise of being much more successful. Experience with the latter car seems to indicate that we may look for considerable economics by the adoption of this unit”.
