Oh to be in England this summer or anytime!

Ex LNER/BR A4 Bittern's restoration is coming along very well, check this site for a view of rod installation, and check back for regular updates. Bittern hasn't steamed since the 1970s right?

Oveerhaul of another A4, Sir Nigel Gresley, is nearing completion as well.

And scroll down for news on a project to re-streamline ex LMS Princess Coronation #6229 Duchess of Hamilton. Once a regular on excursions, she's a static display in York. She and sisters were destreamlined in WWII.
