I remember several years ago (30?) seeing City of Truro in an identical spot; there was plenty of clearance. I wonder if the "new slimmed-down" King will fit? :Nailbiting:

34072 is hauling service trains today. Just to show how hot it is, a crew member who was about to water the loco has just put his head under the water column to cool himself. Who could blame him. <BJ>

In fairness, the 4150 Fund has issued monthly restoration updates and annual newsletters on their website in the same way as the 82045 Fund does. http://www.4150.org.uk/4150_news.html It's probably gone under the radar on here because nobody...
