    Yeah I went to NRM a couple of weeks back. Myself and my mate were shocked when we went into station hall to see what they had done to 2 of the locos there. What's weird is it weren't in place last September when the hall reopened. Disappointing, especially as it looked to be duct taped to the paintwork, hope that doesn't cause any damage.

    You're always quick to lay into the NRM without finding out the reasons why things are as they are. This only looks temporary to me, possibly something to do with asbestos as I've seen that approach elsewhere before.
