    Michael, some great photos of the GCR. 3850 looks great in black and with the correct pattern chimney! What's the problem with 6990? Is it just a matter of waiting for an overhaul or is there something more serious with this loco? I remember seeing it at Toddington as a visitor a few years ago now.

    Cheer's they're Clive Hanley's photograph's! 6990 Witherslack Hall is waiting for an overhaul, started at Tyseley but for some reason it came back home, It's rods I believe are on 4936?? The overhaul will be started once 46521 is finished either in June or July, by the Loughborough Standard Locomotive Group.

    Thanks for the pics. I think 3850 looks stunning. Well Done. I see on your fotopic that the Y7's smokebox is being done there? I thought the boiler was at North Norfolk? Can't be far off running?

    Sorry to go off topic.

    Cracking photos!

    The smokebox for the Y7 (NER H Class to some of us) is actually from 1310 at the Middleton Railway. THe overhaul is comnig along well and the loco shuold be in traffic later this year.
