This will be an historic event. Looking forward to your coverage, Alan. Photos show her in black but one of the articles you linked says she will be painted back to her familiar green before the inaugural run.
Aarghh!!! Just realised that we will be in Germany at the time of the run across the viaduct The locomotive will be very busy on charter trains so will have various opportunities to record her.
I got to see this train back when it was in the San Fransico Bay Area. 1970? It was the first operating steam engine I remember seeing.
