Yes it is the Quainton Road engine.

It has its own website, http://www.6024.com, which includes the history of the loco.

You can also see the latest on the restoration of 6023 here:
http://www.6023.co.uk - with any luck she is now not too far away from a return!

And many thanks for the kind comments on the video.
