That's absolutely lovely. It's also exactly the sort of thing that demonstrates how crap and lazy current graphic design and AI produced colour schemes and liveries are.

Of course is it uphill both ways down here. From a photographic point of view, (and being totally selfless now I am officially classed as "disabled") far more accessible locations. Does make the watering way more difficult so I would not be...

Yes, people often say uphill-facing locos are preferred because you keep the firebox crown covered on the gradient. Which is fine until you go over the top and the water runs away from you! So you compensate by keeping the water quite high to...

Agree 100% that firebox first uphill is preferred. It becomes more of a balancing act when there is a summit involved but , in terms of the NYMR, chimney facing north is preferable, IMHO.
