    No, the clue was earlier in the thread, she's going lined green with smoke deflectors to save on transport costs and the best part is the general public won't even realise :D:D:D:rolleyes:;)

    Thanks for sharing - great video! It would appear to have quite a turn of speed when running light engine...!

    ASAP, depends on the 'test' runs and then sneaking it in to Kiddy C&W paint shop. The SVR have just advertised for a carriage painter...so there is a window of opportunity.....!
    I think I can safely say that any Railway wanting to hire the locomotive it will be available from early 2017. Now form an orderly queue!

    The way SVR loco availability is currently it may well be 813 holding it together again soon ;)

    Let's not quibble over a few acres, I know my Dad said he didn't get in till 10 past 9 that night, and he lives in Bewdley, heaven knows what time passengers from further afield must have got in by! Although Dad didn't say if he popped in the K&C for a cheeky one when he finished his shift....

    The Massey Bros have done a great job of painting the locomotive Under cramped conditions at Kidderminster Carriage Works.....many thanks.
    At Bridgnorth MPD Paint a Shop, Andy Williams has completed the sign writing and the Varnishing is being undertaken by the MPD painters....many thanks to Andy and the SVR loco painters! The loco will probably be finished by the end of this week or early next week.
    Here are a few of the photographs of Andy Williams craftsmanship.....photos by Andy Williams......Enjoy

    Looks a very nice paint job indeed (I'm aware there's the question of whether the tanks would originally have been lettered, but many people would probably just take it to be an industrial loco otherwise).
