one question, who nicked the regulator?

Not in the usual place!

A sight to behold. Funny how the L&B engines can be made to seem toy like in size or quite gigantic depending on the angle and context of the shot they are featured in.

What we need now is another one for Woody Bay on the original line.

@JimStraker If it keeps the southern livery then I'm assuming she will be staying on the FR and not venturing north across the cross town link?

Another one? How about a total of four 2-6-2T Manning Wardle replicas called Yeo, Exe, Taw and Lew and one replica 2-4-2T Baldwin called Lyn. Anyone got several million pounds spare? At least with "The 762 Club", planning for the design and construction of the new Baldwin replica "Lyn" has been progressing quite well. I understand the intention is to complete construction by 2012?

Beautiful! It really is an exiting time at the moment with all the new build loco projects at the moment, undoubtedly caused by 'Tornado'.

[MrTllr]

wiw it final done and was all worth the wait for it

[Andyforsyth1]

@MrTllr I still think there is quite a bit of work left to complete her,

[applecounty]

At last, wonderful!

[Lynbarn]

Nice video Andy thank you can't wait to she her running

[Andyforsyth1]

@Lynbarn Apologies about the quality it was taken on my iphone. She is a big old unit much larger that I expected. I saw her when her frames were taken up the line a couple of years ago on clearance checks and she's grown considerable since then. I expect that she's still got quite a bit of work needed on her so she may still be a month or so away from completion
