    That's a handsome machine, well done and top marks to all concerned. I saw 70000 "whisper" through Leeds station and what a fantastic sight that was. We ALL should be grateful to the people who put their money, their time, and their skills into turning these machines out. Well done. :clap2:

    I can only add to all the previous comments...well done to PRCLT on the quality of the overhaul and the speed with which it was carried out. I remember "cabbing" 46233 in green at Edge Hill MPD in 1962, but no matter what the colour I just love to see it!
    See you on the "Citadel Express" on 26th May.

    As another who enjoyed the delights of 46233 at Edge Hill Loco, I would just like to echo everyone elses comments. It looks great.

    She looks superb! It brought back so many memories when I saw the photos.

    Hope all goes well on the 'Night Owl', I'm sure it will -- she has a great team looking after her.

    Times now on UK Steam t0329c.htm

    The outward run should be in daylight so I suspect some people will be leaving work early....:whistle:

    Noticed on the PMRT website that the Duchess is out for a light engine mainline test run on Tues. 13th .March, anyone know if the the route will be Butterley -Chesterfield - Sheffield via Barrow Hill as I think she is facing that way when coming out of the MRC. Any times or info will be greatly appreciated, many thanks,
    Wardy.

    Does this mean a face on the Duchess?

    Edit : I've just noticed that the MRC site says the loco is running Saturday, not Sunday.
