David, you made it look like a beast,which is, according to the information, like an angry bull. Beautiful luster and the numerals together with the sky make it very impressive!Is that a bump above the last wheel, or just a play of reflection?
Congrats and

I'll post the original Paul but it isn't in BR/GWR green, it's in the authentic LNER blue. The valances are attached because it was restored to it's original condition - as it was when it broke the speed record at 126mph. In my opinion these engines never looked their best in BR green. LNER apple green or blue were the natural colours for East Coast express engines.
