    Watch it you lot! Remember where she is spending the 2nd half of June.

    Maybe we should put a polished chimney on her for the duration of her stay at Tyseley?

    GWR on the buffers also?

    No lad, just keep the rest of it polished and well oiled. And be careful with all that power, it'll be a new experience for your fellas (handling so much power) :p
    Oh, and ask the driver to sit on the correct side. :)

    That shot of Stuarts. I DO like the headboard.

    KJE..great photos. Y'know, every time I see Duchess pics, takes me back to my school days (won't say when but work it out) at Wolverton when they were cruising through with the Caledonian, Royal Scot etc etc etc toward the end of their reign. That's probably why I love the Duchesses so much...Pete

    Thanks, when she left York both times, you could hear her for a quite a while, and she was early arriving both times. The Return trip:
