Q6 I say, great looking loco, will look just like when they used to haul the iron ore trains to Consett - do you reckon the GCR would actually bring the Q6 this far down south? I'd love to see her down here, as a member of the NELPG i've only seen two NELPG locos, the A2 Blue Peter and the J27, and even then only from the behind and for a few seconds!

Edit - a photo like the one attached could be recreated quite easily if it was brought down, from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Railway-Steam-Pho ... dZViewItem (not collected to seller - by the way typing in 'Q6' on ebay search turns up some saucy results!)
