They were just starting to load the Victorian Mail Coach for road transport (!) when I arrived.
The last mainline steam loco built for British Rail, it had a very short life. I know someone who wrote a love song (his only one) to the engine!
Probably the most famous steam loco ever!
The image of the Bullet Train and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway steam loco juxtaposed shows what about a century of railway development achieved!
If you go to the museum make sure you walk through to the stores area at the back - loads of small items that aren't displayed as such.
Although motorised she did a very small part of the rotation by hand.
