    Looking at the pics on FB it's good to see the works plate in it's proper place under the cab number.

    Thanks, we (collective, as I've done nothing practically on the loco) have tried very hard to get the details as right as we could. So many people deserve acknowledgement in getting to this point, it has been one heck of a journey to get this far.

    Well, last evening my grandson had the hump, "grandad i've been to the NRM today to see it and it's still got wheels missing".
    However, Mr Riley has posted pictures of the wheels arriving back at York later in the day.....as we speak he is assembling his troops for a days grafting.(no tea breaks):)

    My ticket arrived today. I am beyond excited. Literally like a kid at Christmas. Just watched the first of my Flying Scotsman dvds whilst writing for some work I am doing.

    Could do what a good friend of mine who died many years ago did, got cremated twice, once as normal but he requested his ashes were put into the firebox of anything that wasn't Great Western on Eardington Bank, SVR.

    what do you mean, he would clinker up , choke the bottom airflow and the loco would have to stop for a blow up!!

    Think of the earning potential for the NRM though - Funeral trains. "The Dying Scotsman".
    And to keep it nice and jolly before the Grim Reaper comes knocking, we could have a series of dining trains - "The Frying Scotsman".
    I'll get my coat, taxi's already been called...!
