    They've got the idea from the NYMR, and the opportunity that was being offered in return for sponsorship of 75029's overhaul..... Except, the NYMR was apparently being serious.

    As photoshopping goes, it's pretty dreadful. This is the original, posted by Kall Chels Buckley Evans.

    I'm reliably told by a friend in the area that the King is out on a turning manoeuvre at the moment, and is booked on a Chester test run tomorrow.

    It was (is) not unusual to hear a squeak from GW loco’s, invariably coming from the vacuum pump..

    Being pedantic, it is an air pump as that is what is being pumped and that is how it is referred to. You can't pump a vacuum. :)

    But as the air being pumped creates the vacuum, invariably referred to as a vacuum pump.
