[Leica] The Glory of Steam

Thanks Douglas, What a lovely shot, she looks absolutely pristine, a real 
greyhound ! This is just personal, but I am not fussed about the smoke 
deflectors, whats your view ? My wife and I had a day in York in March, and 
I saw her in the engineering shop but only frames, and wheels, lets hope we 
do see FS back to former glory, as in your photo. Just out of interest, 
being in metals I have a lot of contacts / friends, and one of my friends 
runs a copper tube drawing mill, he supplied all the copper tubing for 
Tornado, and got a footplate ride, lucky dog !! Kind regards Phil
