4771 The final run

That was it, we certainly need her back!!

I understood there were major problems with the cylinder block, but not the specific nature of those problems.

If the block isn't too badly cracked can it be machined and fitted with liners in the cylinders & valve chests?

Depends on how bad the boiler is, before you do all that.

@NJPurling The cylinder block was badly cracked (I saw it). I think they're replacing it with a new one of different type (that was originally replaced on BR V1s due to the single block cracking). I'm not entirely sure of the details, but 4771 will steam again.

Very nice job and I love the Super D banker. A shame we may never see her running again, but who knows? Never say never.

How dare they put a fine V2 up as a "Static Display?" Makes me sick just thinking about it.

[ajhdbsteam]

What a truely stirring sound. Such a shame we won't be able to hear it for many years, if ever. RIP Green Arrow.

Lovely loco. I remember seeing her in 1997 when she was undergoing a major overhaul at NRM. She was sitting on one of the roads off of the turntable in the great hall, but it was just her frames & wheels, minus her boiler & cab etc. I think she is currently on display at Shildon, but I did hear a rumour a while back that NRM had promised that when her running life expired she was to go on static display at Bressingham Steam Museum at Diss, Norfolk, in exchange for their loss of Oliver Cromwell.

This loco is a great engine. RIP 4771.
