Nice to know the work has gone on and the engine is still there to see. Nice to see the display of the detaching hook etc as well - we hadn't things like that way back then. Moocher - which engine did they run, I didn't know they could turn over the big 'un yet ? BTW I have more drawings of the engine, pit and it's various bits and pieces if anyone's interested.
