Whatever Andy, I don't need to count to see there is too many rivets, just look at it.

I have looked into this, if you are looking for differences between Blue Peter and Tornado, it is not the rivits you should be counting, it is the driving wheel diameter ;)
Anyway, I belive this argument should stop on the basis that it is built now and there is nowt William or Andy can do about it!!! :twisted:

Not that I can think of, usually if the FfR is in something it is a double Fairlie (anyone remember years ago David Lloyed George being in a Wales tourist board advert?), although the railway has also featured recently in a pop video for Duffy (no loco featured though)
