    Certainly was swinging on the whistle there.

    Just had a trawl through the videos for day 1, there are great ones but what a load of dross as well, that get comments like 'smashin shot m8'.:rolleyes1:

    There's one chap who seemingly has but one comment in his phrase book - "great video. 5 stars." He uses this no matter what the quality of the clip, even the rubbish ones.

    Yeah nice long whistle. I love A4's and that was doing some flying. I also saw a video of 60007 on its LE that day also at Durham and that did a lot of whistling over Durham Viaduct.

    Firstly, I'd like to applaud J Hoskings Esq and his team for the repaint and the NZ earthquake element. A timely and wonderful gesture.

    And now the dumb question - motivated by interest, not by rivet counting. Mallard is displayed with red spokes and silver wheels, and on "4492" the wheels are all red. Which - or indeed are both - prototypical?

    Thanks

    Toby

    AFIK 4492 is accurate. The silver A4s had silver wheels and charcoal wheel rims. The apple green A4s had green wheels with black wheel rims. As Mallard was the first to be fitted with a double chimney pre WW2.......I'm not sure, hopefully NRM have it right...............

    I only just found out via a video on Youtube that there was a ceremony at Kings Cross with the New Zealand Commissioner to the UK relaunching the loco and that a donation was made for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal which I suppose was always a strong possibilty and a very nice gesture.

    The NZ Commission actually have one of the original nameplates in their entrance.

    I like those out of interest could you do another non authentic one. Ive always wondered what a A4 would have looked like in the BR Maroon that the ex LMS engines wore

    The artist Barry Price did a painting of exactly that some years ago. It was a fantasy line up of three locos, the A4, a King and a Rebuilt MN, all in BR maroon. Funny thing is SINCE that painting both Olton Hall and Taw Valley were painted into versions of a maroon/red livery. Whilst that was a Hall instead of a King, and a WC rather than an MN it was pretty close!

    That fictitious liveries website could be worth a look. I know it shows an A4 in GNER livery and a Deltic in LMS Crimson Lake!

    Indeed. And "Northernblue109" is your man for that! The old site was lost when fotopic disappeared, IIRC.

    Ok so it's an NZ news site but some awful reporting - "only six in its class," "adapted from the A4" and "newly created class was dubbed Coronation Pacific."
