DBS Throw the toys out the pram ?

Not even a replica LNER one? :rolleyes1:

 

Maybe right as after all it is half German!

 

Isn't Meiningen Works which built Tornado's boiler already owned by DB ?

 

Time for the Ficticious Liveries people to mock-up Tornado in DBS red, perhaps? Does this mean we'll need to write Tornado's number "60 163"?

 

The Meiningen works has been managed by Deusche Bahn since the merger of DB and DR in 1994. <BJ>

 

6024 in DB red and named King of Hogwarts?

 

Wouldn't it be 98863?

 

Depends if it would be classed as privatly owened still? As a company-owned loco it could probably use its running number! Have to laugh at this one: http://fictitiousliveries.fotopic.net/p54989157.html !!! lol

Yes, yes, yes!!!

 

Yes, thanks for that James. It's good to have the record put straight regarding some of the 'excitement' that tends to filter through from 'other places'. Its still an interesting topic to discuss, though, and shows that steam is by no means a certainty on the mainline...

 

Issue 238 of The Railway Herald, page 11, has a short piece on these rumours. DBS Head of Communications is quoted as saying the company has no such policy. Phew!

 

Oh well who ever started this rumour has kept 3100 odd viewings on this forum busy!!
