    A new build Saint great! The straight footplate and steps look wonderful. To think many of the Saints before scrapping ended up on goods and mixed traffic, so its a treat to see GWR coaches behind a great Lady. Thanks

    So nice to see a Saint running elsewhere than on my layout. ( I have two, including "Saint David"!) Hats off to both Didcot and the SVR.

    As someone who is actually a Didcot resident, lady of legend is a pride to rail enthusiasts along the great Western mainline and beyond, and as much as I like the DRC, it is far too small, especially for locomotives in our collection that can really put on a grand show!

    I remember going to Didcot on the first weekend of public running and feeling like an over-excited 7 year old all over again as she came into view that Saturday morning along the demo line! I am delighted she will be stretching her legs now on the SVR, I just wish I could get down myself 🤷🏻‍♂️🍻

    • @MasterMoyle

      Just disgraceful that Didcot have ceased any interest in operating their locos on the mainline. Didcot is too small for a loco like the saint.

      @@simmo151 The tender is actually normal sized; the loco is just tall due to its large drive wheels. The cabs on the Saints are different to that on the Halls and another visual difference is the front end. 2999 has a straight running board whereas Halls have curved running boards although some Saints were built with curved running boards.
