    Is it me or are the spokes of FS'S Wheels particularly finely spoked...
    Hats off to SNG, His express engines looked fast, saw FS Doing a positioning Move round York when last in steam and at about 5mph the motion is Poetry, like a stalking Cheetah...

    As an aside, we should not forget the acheivement of Ian Riley's team in building what is virtually a new large traditional firebox for 60103.

    Presumably as recently as when the A1 people were looking for this expertise it was not available in the UK and they went to Germany for a welded design.

    Huge respect to Ian and his team, lets hope that the skills involved are now established for when the next "biggie" comes along.

    Don't forget the considerable effort of Pridhams, in making the firebox kit of parts also.

    Did Pridhams do the flanging then? Rileys rivetted it all together?

    NRM have just posted on Twitter (@railwaymuseum) that the final colour will be their decision and, as 4472, people expect it to be in Apple Green. In a separate tweet they have also stated that without smoke deflectors steam and smoke blocks the drivers vision sufficiently to impair spotting of signals.

    This conflicts with the 4472 webpage! Lets hope for 4472 in black until after trials!
