    We didn't have the money. I have a funny feeling when 6229 is unleashed on the world things may be different. Let's see...

    Hardly surprising if its due to 'open' at NRM on Wednesday ! Regardless of the long-running arguments over cost/need/benefit, I for one welcome the opportunity to see a Duchess in this condition. Like most, I never thought I'd see the likes of this ! Wow x 3!

    Great pictures. She really looks amazing!
    Are the times the same as what they were supposed to have been on Friday? Only my 4 year old son would love to go see her through Masborough or Swinton.

    regards jess

    Truly spectacular. A beautiful piece of work there by everyone involved.

    Can't wait to go and have a look at it in the Great Hall and marvel and the quality of the workmanship. Wow. =D>

    Where do I donate towards the steaming fund......?

    I agree entirely! She looks superb, art-deco to the extreme!
    Any Idea why they are dragging the 3 coaches with them as well though?
