I am right there with you on that one Phill:thumbs: - if I ever win the lottery I will pay for Green Arrow to be restored to running condition.

I think I just wet myself....

Has it given you any motivation to finish your D49 Mick?

Couldn't agree more Phil.... Though I've heard rumours... I believe the main reason for not sorting the V2 was that the NRM would only have cast a whole new mono block because of originality and that would have been difficult these days, but they might be coming around to changing it to 3 separate cylinders which is easier, and would have been done in BR days anyway..

Frustratingly although Morayshire was in theory the star of the show, she wasn't placed that well for taking photos. If she had been 10 feet further forward I could have got much better photos.

She was planned to give brake van rides on the Sunday and Monday but the weather was awful and I felt a bit sorry for them.

Hi Martin,

While I have to agree that lined black does sit well, I was most disappointed that she wasn't in LNER green:(
