- To appear; to be published or disseminated. True, the "Kings" seem capable amply of performing all that is required of them, but as it is now 18 years since the class first saw the light of day, it is perhaps hardly premature to anticipate a new express design from the G.W.R. within a not too long period.
- To be realised. Many projects were planned and started, but none saw the light of day.
