I think the artist's perspective is a little off.

not a picture but this one is interesting.



If you feel you need an challenge:
http://vimeo.com/91390069

it's among the hardest races in Norway, and probably on a list of one of the harder race in the world, if it's top 10 or top 50... how knows.

Currently generating fierce arguments on the interwebs. Ex-GWR 2-8-0 No.2861 ceased to exist in any tangible form today.
Those of the railway fraternity who continue to wear rose tinted spectacles seem to think that the hulk you see in the picture could feasibly be returned to steam. What do people see that is recognisable as a locomotive here?

It's dead, Jim...

(I understand fabricating parts for the Duke of Gloucester was enough trouble and that was with most of the locomitive left - although some of it didn't match the builders plans, but that's a separate argument - that's pretty much "building a new loco and using two old axles from over there somewhere")

My thoughts exactly. So much hate came out of the discussion...

Heh, DoG wasn't built properly in the first place for a variety of reasons.

This was one of the ex Barry Scrapyard examples that had been parted out for other rebuild projects right?
