Regardless of the colour, bearing in mind the condition it was in, it's a miracle that it's been restored to steam. Congratulations to all those who were involved in its restoration.
Only a coat of paint........... only a coat of paint, never. This is history and national pride we are talking about here.:hehe:
I agree with IKB, it should have been painted in crimson which was the best color ever placed historically on steam Loco's.
As stated, the owners should be not only flogged but then chained in the stocks so that we can all throw rotten fruit at them as punishment for their crime against society.
Blue indeed....... I shout it from the rooftops.... sacrilege.... sacrilege.....sacrilege.:'(

someone's not content with watching the paint dry. and isn't that over the top? I would have prefered the good ol' method of tying them to a long length of track and then wait for a train to run them over.
