    Evening all. Nowt to do with livery, much more exciting. Driving wheels are back and in according to an email I've just had from Steve Davies, looking forward to seeing in on Monday! We've been busy with another East Coast flyer today at Shildon, blog coming soon!

    As an aside, we should not forget the acheivement of Ian Riley's team in building what is virtually a new large traditional firebox for 60103.

    Presumably as recently as when the A1 people were looking for this expertise it was not available in the UK and they went to Germany for a welded design.

    Huge respect to Ian and his team, lets hope that the skills involved are now established for when the next "biggie" comes along.

    Don't forget the considerable effort of Pridhams, in making the firebox kit of parts also.

    Did Pridhams do the flanging then? Rileys rivetted it all together?

    NRM have just posted on Twitter (@railwaymuseum) that the final colour will be their decision and, as 4472, people expect it to be in Apple Green. In a separate tweet they have also stated that without smoke deflectors steam and smoke blocks the drivers vision sufficiently to impair spotting of signals.

    This conflicts with the 4472 webpage! Lets hope for 4472 in black until after trials!
