Please please please do a proper job on loco restoration, and the tender replica. with no unneccessary embellishments, and with rivets (if only cosmetic) where they should be. Welded construction looks awful. After criticism a preservation soc is redoing replicationof water tankks WITH cosmetic rivets as the plain welded tanks were too obviosly modern replacements. I believe the Q&TL locos extant at closure still all survive. No 6 being a favourite of mine.
