    As many of you will know, Festiniog Railway locomotive Princess went on display at Paddington today. She'll be there for the next six weeks. I was lucky enough to be there - here are a few photos from the event.

    By sheer chance my girlfriend was on her way back from Sweden and saw the unveiling, she grabbed a couple of pics.

    I'll post them up when I get them off her camera.

    Sadly I didn't get any due to the WCML dying and my train only getting as far as Nuneaton...

    And here are a few from this afternoon.

    For Porthmadog's sake, I hope this is the closest that Princess ever gets to a Burger King.

    A lot of people stopping to have a brief look or take a photo in the time I was there.
