I see newly repainted (in blue) 55 009 ran from the DPS base to York on the 21st. Wonder if it has a part to play on Thursday with the return working?
Don't worry, there is another LNER pacific available. It's even in the preferred (by some) shade of green :)
Latest pictures from Heritage Painting on FB. Glad to see its getting proper BR livery - painter smoke box door hinges included :)[ATTACH]

I thought this too but question is what form do you then present 4468 in? The current corridor tender behind 60103 has been much modified in...

Presumably something will need to be done about the whistle as well unless it's going to drag a diesel around everywhere to use the horn at every...
See it has a full set of lamp irons now :)
Excellent video - thanks for sharing that :)
I'm sure that isn't the first time that 31 has run in the last 10 years :)
