    For those who haven't already seen it, there's a good resume on the NRM blog of all the different livery and detail variations carried by FS over the years:

    Have to say, she looked stunning in the 1924 photo as an A1 with coal-rail tender ...

    Ian Riley posted this on the "In The Works" forum which shows "Bogie stretcher now completed and in place, the running boards and detail work commences at the front end, together with mounting the brake cross members."

    The latest issue of The Railway Magazine* reports that Steam Dreams and RTC will be having exclusive use of 60103 on rail tours when she does return to the ML.

    *Had a look at a copy in Sainsburys at lunchtime as my Subscription copy seems to have vanished in the postal system:mad:
    Anyone else had their copy yet in the post?

    Thanks unslet and Hampshire Unit for the replies about The RM. Much appreciated.
    My copy also usually arrives on the Monday before it is put on sale but there is no sign of it yet. Hopefully it will be on the mat when I get home tonight otherwise I might have to send Mortons an e-mail.
    I am a little bit paranoid about it as I have had a lot of stuff pinched or disappear in the post in the past. Another magazine I used to get was disappearing every issue and Royal Mail had to be investigated.

    Really happy to see the number plate n the correct position. I wonder if the split handrails and lamp iron position will also be correct - would make her almost entirely correct for 1962.

    I cant wait to see 60103 like this. When Sir Bill firsr returned it to this condition at Babcocks in Oldbury it was a 15 minute walk away. Dad offered to take me down to see it and me having a strop on I said no. Hence Im rather keen to see it in what I think is the colour and guise that suits it best.

    They haven't drilled out the chimney yet. Doesn't look realistic like that.

    It's a new idea to make steam more efficient - stops the heat escaping.

    Sorry, I'll go away now...
