    Thanks for sharing these photos, railway. D4 is looking great. Although mainly a steam enthusiast, I have soft spots for Peaks, Whistlers, Hydraulics and Deltics.
    It seems hard to believe this locomotive is already fifty years old.
    Regards SteamHawk216.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Looks superb - just goes to remind you what a crime it was that D1 was not claimed for the National Collection.

    That's a real credit to everyone who has worked on it, it looks superb, looking forward to riding behind it again.
