Technically, yes - but it was at about 10 mins to closing time!!
I reckon Matt did well resisting the urge to play with a new toy until then
After taking that photo, I strolled out and took this one
Come to collect Edward Sholto
Not Sir Haydn's loco

Is the chap in the glasses looking happy with the loco Sir Haydn?

I was there. I was looking after 'jack lane' for the day so was not there for long as there was only 1 steward on at the time.

Trail fitted the new buffers and buffer beams today, will add bolt and rivit detail along with some vac pipes

It's very sensible to fit wooden buffer beams - gives you somewhere not hot to handle the loco by!

Very nice!
MDLR Those buffer beams look like brass to me!
