    So what exactly is happening with Taff Vale 28 at present. Last time the NRM appears to have said anything was in March http://www.nrm.org.uk/AboutUs/PressOffice/PressReleases/2013/March/Taff Vale.aspx as far as I can see. Has the £10, 0000 been raised, is the cosmetic restoration underway? Its not just the A3 the NRM press office and Webmaster has problems giving updates about. ​

    Thanks Peter - there is imminent news I'm glad to say. Watch various spaces as I think a press release is due soon.

    Thanks Tom. I had a copy of that on my bedroom wall as a child, but I haven't seen it for many years. An appropriately silly livery for a very idiosyncratic loco design. There's a prototype for everything!

    Hope they won't be waiting too much longer.

    Anyone know anyone in the paint trade near Blackburn? Ask them to look out for a large order of light green/black/tartan paint (delete as applicable) and let us know.

    The original was in "Four Main Lines" by C. Hamilton Ellis, along with a bit of background info about the livery and the reason why the loco was thus painted - Royal Stewart tartan, apparently. No idea where prints were subsequently distributed, though the fact that I found a couple on eBay when looking for an image suggests that there probably was a run of prints.

    Some photos of the front end of the frames, bogie frames and cylinder blocks have been put on the NRM's Scotsman website today.
    Can't give a link, I just about found it myself!! Poor communication by the NRM?

    Poor communication.... what do you want them to do give everyone a ring separately to confirm they have added some pics?

    It hadn't been great over the years but this criticism seems a little unnecessary.

    No, but I would expect the Flying Scotsman microsite, as they call it, to be accessed direct from the NRM's home page, not at the bottom of October's press release.
