I'd love to see her steam again but lets be honest we all thought Sutherland was never gonna be a runner with all those wooden parts whilst at Bressingham! Nethertheless, she still runs now.
Personally it was something I always wanted to see for real rather than in photos...
I have to say I've got to go against pretty much everone else and say that I think Hamilton looks much better WITHOUT the streamlined casing. The streamlining totally ruins them, makes them look fat and ugly.
I think its a disgrace that all that time and money was put into streamlining Hamilton when it could have at least put a good bit towards getting her back in working order - without the streamlined casing, like a proper, true Duchess pacific.
Hamilton looks great - well worth the wait. Now hopefully she will be returned to steam also. Great job Tyseley staff - Bob and Alistair Meanley and all.
It looks better streamlined
