She'll be in the NRM's North Yard tomorrow (2/08/12) from 10:30 to 12:00 for anyone who wants to get up close to her in this condition. I can't wait to see her!

Re: 4468 livery update
Change a digit and put a temporary nameplate on her but keep your eyes skyward.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.
Re: 4468 livery update
Is that making use of the leftover paint from another NRM recent repaint?
Re: 4468 livery update
Saw her a couple of months ago and she was immaculate , why the repaint ?

Re: 4468 livery update
Ay up!
There was quite a bit of staining of the casing over the cylinders from her time on the main line which I believe is the main reason for the repaint.
Pity she wasn't overhauled before the repaint....

If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!

Re: 4468 livery update
Mallard wasn't immaculate, her paint was chipped and rust was starting to take hold. A lot of areas have been needle gunned and the tender interior was awful

Re: 4468 livery update
Sounds like one or two other locos in there in a similar condition. Last time I looked over 34051 and the Spinner, they looked awful close up, but still presentable from a distance.

I'm also drawn to the commemorative, let's hope Bachmann will produce 6165 Valour.
