Amazing stuff, Ken!
Leave it to the Brits to build a completely new steam loco, and then run it in mainline service! 
You think they'll try to break the Mallard's speed record? It's another A1, so I bet they could do it.

Pretty Pacific.
Btw, Ken, there is a place on the Califorinia/Nevada border that rents diesel locomotives and a "Co"-engineer for $120/hr!!! If you wanna do this, I can meet you there. I have friends a few hours a way from it. Beautiful country!
