SICK. Don't see many of those around anymore!

Wish I could see one in person someday.

There are a few of this class trundling round the UK plus a myriad of other old steam locos on preserved lines. You need to take a holiday over here :)

These have such clean lines.....and just a general clean appearance. American steamers are generally lumpy and black. Nice to see something with a bit more interest.

Whe she is on mainline runs I think she is kept at Southall depot in London, a lot of the time she is at the Midhants Presereved Railway. I've shot a couple of videos with the 7D the last time I was there.
