    The first day of the gala saw 34081 working the ‘Arrer. In reality the ELR’s premium dining train. The squadron badges had been fitted in the lower position to accommodate the Arrow. These were then moved back up into the normal position ready for the Devon Belle. That would have been a warm job for whoever had to climb up the inside of the casing.

    Yes, as well as the cowling over the front of the smokebox, which helped direct air flow to create some lift around the chimney.

    Every shot I've seen of this loco has been simply beautiful. It's such a great example of what these locos should look like. And for those who don't know what they should sound like, this video explains. :)

    In addition to other answers, OVS Bulleid tried different front end shapes on the Merchants before settling on deflectors.

    Sad to hear of the passing of Group Captain John 'Paddy' Hemmingway.
    He was last known of The Few.
    He flew with 253 Squadron.
    Bulleid Pacific 34084.
    RIP Sir
