I though that was Mallard.....

[smiffy1071]

@hstclass43 I wish that were true. Mallard has not been steamed up, let alone run on the mainline since 1988. Mallard would need a total rebuild including a brand new boiler, before you could even set a fire in the firebox.

Don't forget, a steam loco is a VERY dangerous thing if the boiler is not in 100% top condition, and a boiler safety certificate doesn't last very long, maybe 10 years or a bit less..... BIG money is a huge under statement.
