Bit like Royal Scot then I suppose. You may have seen many A3s but they are all gone now. It is the most travelled loco in the world now and is supposed to have done 100mph first. Thing is a replica would not have done all those things so I doubt people would see that. Hopefully as this has been a heavey overhaul (and I mean Titanic) it won't need another for quite a while, and if it is anything like 60163, in NRM hands things should be stable. I would like to see aother A3 I think, but not 4472. A new one with new number and name would be nice at some point, after all its 87 years old now. Somehow I doubt it will continue to run after this overhaul or the next. Bit frail if you know what I mean.
