    and if it's like 45699, it'll probably be wearing Tangmere's nameplates :)

    Or better yet, 249 Squadron plates. "Well, there was so much to do we decided what it needed wasn't so much a restoration as a rebuild. Then we found some drawings..."

    Three photos can be found at @onlyjustharry on Twitter.

    Won't post the photos directly not to ruin the surprise.

    In that case, it will remain a secret, which is probably a good idea if its of a finished 34051. Even at my relatively young age, I don't use Tw*tter, nor do I ever wish to. I understand, however, that I am in the minority... Even so, I shall probably see it being shunted about tomorrow.

    Yes, it does look good. Steam heat bag is missing, though. Chain is hanging down with nothing to do.

    Now that is quite nit-picky! :) No discs though ... Are they waiting until it gets to York, for the "definitive" shot?

    One interesting thing, and I have no idea if this is by accident or design: All the photos I can find of the train show that the front coupling shackle was hanging loose, rather than on its carrying hook or with the tommy bar threaded through; and they all show it hanging to the right as in the photo above. I wonder if that is fluke or whether the photo was arranged that way? If so, someone was being very observant!

    See e.g.
    Also, I am sure it has been linked before, but now is as good a time as any to draw attention to it: Jim Lester's write up of the preparations and journey. There's a real tension in reading it: the load may not have been huge, but the juggling of water and pressure to get the range without stops, with accurate timing but not blowing off or making smoke at Waterloo during a long wait shows real skill.

    Such a brilliant job by the MHR team and I have a sense that anything in the detail that the NRM may miss would be picked up by the folk at Ropley. And staying in nostalgic mood over Bulleids given that this is the year when we expect to see 35018 back on the main line, I came across this picture of her at Nine Elms to whet the appetite. I took it in 1964 on the same day that Merchant 2 was sitting on shed minus her nameplates in the 'withdrawn' line. Interesting that the status of the Royal Wessex still dictated that the loco was presentable despite her forlorn class mate a few roads across. She didn't survive passed the summer of that year though.

    Tom,

    I know Ollie and team have studied the photos of the day to ensure that the fine details are correct, so it would not surprise me to find out the coupling is hung that way!

    Its a good photo that clearly shows two of the detail differences on 35018 that were not replicated on the other 29 members of the class after rebuilding. The small ejector pipe cranking around the nameplate and the different location and design of the forward sandbox.

    I have seen some pictures (on a private Facebook page) of the Loco in Ropley yard, complete with disks in the V formation. (However as they are private pictures I will not be posting them until I see them in the public domain, I note the MHR website does not show the same shot; so this backs up my decision).

    Cracking shot, Richard Bentley showed me this on his phone yesterday! I was at work only a few hundred yards away when he took the pic!
    The shots from the photo call last Thursday (complete with headcode discs and Winston himself) are not allowed to go public yet....

    Superb picture. I hope one of the mags is allowed to do a poster of this or the events at Ropley and York.

    Well done all involved.
