    34072 faces Norden from when I went past this morning. Also appears to be an Austerity in the run round currently on the webcam. That would be very good for the weekend trains:)

    I have updated the pinned post - ticked off the locos that have already been withdrawn, added boiler tests for the M7 and 46447 and a few withdrawal dates that have been more clear since the set up of this thread.
