Nice one Matt - the suspense has been killing me!
Definitely screams "Corris" in that colour
I'm looking forward to a closer look at some time (

I do really like these leaders, do seem like a good loco to mess about with as well. Wonder what you will do with it?
I take it that colour is primer.....
Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.

Not just this.
Im just not one for tender locos. dont know what it is but I have never kept one for long. I had a fowler for about 2 months didnt like it and got rid.
Throught with Linda being a british prototype it might be different. Oh well.

I like the Leader, saddle tanks are nice, how does that compare to a Bertie?

Sorry didn't see that discussion, do you have a link for it, would be interesting to read but looks like this is what I'll aim for then.

Light travels faster than sound, which is why some people appear bright until they speak.
