It looks like a real classic colour scheme, redolent of the heyday of the LMS, and I think it’ll really suit a big bruiser of an engine like the NGG16.

For Himself it’s the biggest missing piece of the jigsaw as he builds our model from a Backwoods kit, but I’m sure he will be ca canny (as they say in these parts) because nothing is ever gained by getting ahead of Boston Lodge - or Dinas - because there could still be any number of details which could be different to what we might anticipate.

Tempting as it is to rush ahead, we must wait for the real one to steam.
