Despite all the criticisms folks, it's still nice to see

Now, where's that pot of blue paint.....

Hmm sound like someone wants to replicate the Coronation Scot.

nice but indeed a waste of money, the boiler hasnt been touched and its not for the mainline Yorks its er.... final destination so to speak. due to the difficulties of routine maintainance it would need on the mainline

Where have you heard that? Quite frankly I can't believe they'd have gone to the bother of rebuilding her to a slightly new profile to fit the current loading gauge for one short trip between Tyseley and the NRM. The difficulties are no worse that an an A4 with valences.

My understanding was that she'll spend the next 18 months as a static exhibit before rejoining the NRM's limited working fleet.
