That is quite correct. (I think is was 52) All sorts of interesting motive power was drafted in for a while, as the whole class of 30 was temporarily withdrawn from service to have the axles checked.
The most interesting 'foreign' motive power bought in were several Eastern region V2's I even have a photo somewhere of a V2 on the Bournemouth Belle, complete with nameboard
If anyone is interested I'll see what the source book for this information was
