Sir Nigel Gresley Post2
Yesterday, I posted a photo of Sir Nigel Gresley 2009 after his Renovation, Today I'm posting a photo of Sir Nigel Gresley in 2008 - during his renovation, in the sheds at Grosmont North Yorkshire UK.
Lovely photo of a wonderful engine. I was active member in a similar society when I was young. I'm still a member, but haven't been active for years. There is an awful lot of work behind Sir Nigel Gresley's splendid condition which was a joy to see.

Wow - they really made quite the improvements, didn't they? It's beautiful in both stages, I think!
Steam - the heart pounds with excitement
Book me twice!!!
I'm so glad they preserved this wonderful engine.
I have fond memories of the old steam locomotives in Cornwall.

Does he normally live at the York Railway Museum? I was there a couple of summers ago and remember seeing this engine I think.
I agree with Picture Imperfect...beautiful! A lot shinnier than the shield I got from you, ha! It's been properly cleaned now though.
Beautiful renovation of the locomotive, Mac. Nice tribute to Sir Nigel.

I don't know, you wait for ages for a steam train to turn up, then two appear almost at the same time.
Really love your header photo.!
Love Granny
They really did a beautiful job. What do you suppose they could do for a '96 Nissan Altima?
It's wonderful that this beautiful engine is getting such wonderful care.
What an impressive locomotive.
Mac: What a great train and to think it was knighted, who knew.
I especially like the quality of the lighting(the warm cast and the reflections)that you captured in this photo.
