No it won't!
The Scotsman isn't cetainly appearing in BR livery, it is undecided, but they do have well over a year to make their minds up, due for completion July 2007.
Although she's due back Tuesday (in the blooming dark, but I will be there to see her home) there is currently no home for her, as the workshop where she needs to be over the pit, currently has Green Arrow in with a broken middle cylinder, and the tender off connecting rods off and the middle driving wheels out! behind her is a black 5, and also in are a Deltic and class 08 shunter, outside you have Cheltenham and class 47 prince william, plus Green Arrows tender...and they want to start in January??
I willbe there most weekends to see the progress of 4472

Was it?
I didn't take notice of the board, just wanted to see what 60800 was up to, it looked a 2-6-0 to me though, nay mind...I'm new to much other than A3/A4/V2.
Although I am running on my railway;
LNER A4 Mallard
BR A4 Union of South Africa
LNER V2 Coldstreamer
LNER 8F 3107
LNER J94
BR J94
BR J94
LNER GP 060 Tank (anyone know the class of this little Graham Farish green tank from the early 80's?)

Sorry as I say I'm new to trains really, once upon a time a train had steam, or not...If I don't want to look at something I won't, and all I know is that it was black.
Soz for not getting it's class and wheel config right, but I was born after the Class 43 HST's, so I'm very new to trains.
If this bothers you, then I am very sorry.

The times have been on since Friday, and Thursday I took Tuesday off, and don't need it, but never mind hey, can train spot some more!
Does anyone know whatt he codes mean on Uk Steam, again I'm new, and they could mean anything,
The main page says E+C
and the times page says Engine+POB
Also it says Arrives and departs York, so does anyone know where it will sit for the 20 mins that it is there?
