I had heard that she did amazingly well on the WHR too. As such, if the MW new builds are going to be just as good, why keep looking at locos from other railways which may need extensive restoration after initial purchase costs, may not be...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] With cooler weather we had five people working earlier today. More small jobs were done on #676 in the shed and we are waiting for the new "W" iron to be delivered before we can finish the floor and put the new fixed end on....
