Someone had a sense of humour - when you look at the Shildon Facebook page, there are other animals ground into the locomotive's metal! A scotty dog and a rabbit among them.

Yes, I meant to ask about that after seeing it in late February. I thought someone was having a laugh. Saw DoC again this weekend at the Model Motion show and they've painted over the 'evidence' now. Sadly Silver Fox, Sir Nigel Gresley and Golden Plover [IIRC] are a little long too fit on Dalefoot's turntable, not to mention the first two being out of period.

This looks quite interesting that I hope to take advantage of;

"Friday 29 March to Sunday 14 April
Take a supervised visit into the workshop area, and get up close to the Dominion of Canada restoration project and take photos (18+ only). Plus, climb onto the footplate of Duchess of Hamilton. Call about dates and times."
