Much of the stock there is in very sad shape. Yea it really is. I dont know of another museum anywhere remotely close. Maybe you know why they have those giant unsightly panels on front of the steam engine. They are so gaudy and ugly. It really detracts from the magestic nature of said engine. Pretty sure thats not the way it was originally built. Like giant horse blinders. I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather.

I just now went back and found my pics from the last time I visited there... this was November 10, 2010. No I have no idea why they changed the look of 3001. I do NOT like the new look at all!

Here in the UK they even had the audacity to put them on the "Flying Scotsman" Is that what they are called? Ruins the whole look!

 Hosted photo: posted by Inspeqtor in ./showthread.php?p=18053094&i=i194596869 forum: Transportation nor do I. It's god awful ugly now. I've seen pictures without them, and it looks awesome! Also it's all painted solid black now. No character to it. Ah well, I have no need to ever go back. Nice shot btw! I have a similar shot from the other side of the engine, but I can't use it because of those stupid giant blinders! I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather.
