    It’s the other way round too :):)

    Apparently it’s going to be staying with us for a week or two. The other two visitors were on the RRI this afternoon.

    Yep turntable is in light use, the bucket was perfectly balanced upon it and could have been kept 'spinning all night'' according to a source close to the bothy.

    Obviously the Dukedog repaint debate on the Bluebell thread caused this to pass under the radar.

    Despite my general disdain for BR Black, I have to admit that looks rather good.

    What could have been fun was to suggest that the cab would be boxed in with plywood to resemble an Adams radial

    I think that a stylish machine line the T3 would look good in any livery - within reason!

    Furthermore, had the T3 remained in service into BR days, it would have been carrying a Drummond-style lipped chimney rather than the Adams stovepipe.

    All the same, a pretty convincing spoof!

    ....to say nothing of the austere Adams stovepipe chimney which it lost in favour of the more elegant standard Drummond chimney in the early part of the last century.:)

    EDIT Just realised that I wrote this this morning but forgot to press the send button. Clearly @John Petley and I are on the same wavelenght
