Walk into main engine hall (the bit you go under the road to), and head right. Ellerman Lines (for 'tis she) is about half way up along the right hand wall and is indeed great to watch.
If you look carefully at the con rods and bits on the non-cutaway side, you can see that some of them are not stamped with Ellerman's number, but with 35006, which is P and O, currently being rebuilt at Toddington, Gloucestershire, hving been nabbed at the scrapyard. I knew someone who'd worked on that project, and was most annoyed that they'd had to have new parts cast to make up for it....
I think describing Scotsman as 'naked' is an understatment just now. 'Dismembered' would be better....
It is a Royal train in the background - Edward the VII's I think. Also, we noticed that in the toilet at the end of Victoria's coach, there was a drop leaf table, which when raised would be perfectly placed to use whilst 'on the throne' so to speak. Was she really that busy, that she had to work, even there?
Kettle's boiling... Tea?

Morning All!
No tea for me thanks, I'm on the lemsip, trying to stave off the lurgy.
I've a friends' wedding to go to tomorrow, so need to be feeling better by then.

When I had a rotten cold before Christmas, I got a bottle of ribena type squash (well, Morrisons own brand) and had several mugs of it made up with hot water. Seemed to make me feel better, I think there was a vitamin in there somewhere, it was a nice hot drink and very easy to drink (quite sweet). Also, no drugs in it, so no limit to how much you could have.

Hot squash it is then!
Though I've always had a slightly reckless attitude to exceeding the recommended dose on lemsip and the like...

Joking apart, be careful with Lemsips etc. They contain paracetamol, so if you take paracetamol in tablets as well, you could easily overdose.

And the tricky thing about paracetamol is, you overdose, go to hospital, have your stomach pumped, feel fine, come home and two days later your liver fails. Apparently, sometimes...

If my liver fails I'll blame it on the ale.
Tea anyone? Kettle's just boiled for my second lemsip of the day.

Whoops! Missed you! I was working, honestly!
(Well, redoing the stuff I had to redo because I made a stupid mistake. And now I'm worried by some of the 'real' results...)
Anyway, hope you're having a good trip!
You'll have to both stop off in York one time, for the compulsory trip round the NRM...

I drink hot squash too.
I recently changed to Tescos extra concentrated squash. It's a bit sickly sweet when you forget that it is double concentrated.
