The King does look good, the last time I saw it it was in Woodhams yard. I thought its next movements would be to the cutters torch. On the observation coach, when was the "beever tail rebuilt?

Nice pictures, like the beavertail (pity it was rebuilt).
When I see the Blue King, I expect to see a yellow smokebox and a TOP's number

The other beavertail is in the process of being rebuilt to original condition at Barrow Hill. 'Sawdust' who quite often posts on here did the bodywork receonstruction and I believe the next stage in the project is getting all the curved glass manufactured.
