On first run thru the Big Country after being stuffed and mounted for almost sixty years. Just search for 4014 Big Boy on YouTube..loads of vids up in the last few days. Could do 80mph but just being treated with kid gloves to start with, but look at the size and listen to that whistle roar....stunning.

Anything worth keeping an eye open for, chuffing through the bottom of the Castle Calamity estate, in the coming months?

20th July: Ooh, I should at home for that one. It'd better be a big one!
5th August: Sunning myself in Cornwall. But, it's a house-swap holiday, so I'll aim to leave a note for our guests!
