Wonders how self quartering axles potray the LNER 3-cylinder, 120 degree rotation?

What is more alarming is that they were sent the plans and told to make it the same as the original, but with a welded firebox. As well as being 4" out of true, I have also heard that the boiler was 'banana shaped', having a bend in the main section. One of the most annoying problems is the amount of time that it takes for the boiler to be shipped around the globe. If the boiler was fine the first time around, 3801 was due back in service around early 2011. Now, with all these problems it will be unlikely to see her back in service until mid this year at the earliest (touch wood that there is no problems this time around).

I agree that 3801 is certainly a looker, particuarly in Green/Gold or 'Grey Nurse' livery. It was nice that when 3801 limited's lease on her was running out that she was painted in all the colours she wore during service. The best memory I have of 3801 is from 2005. To head down to the Thirlmere festival of steam, the organizers had a race (it was called a parallel run in the schedule, but was clearly a race) between 3801, 3830 and 3112. I happened to find myself behind 3830 for this trip. As we raced through southern Sydney, I remember looking across at 3801 and thinking that that is one of the nicesy locomotives I have ever seen. Hopefully it won't be to long before the sound of this glorious locomotive is heard again, so long as DB Meiningen get the boiler measurements right this time around!
