Looks good to me but I'm not an expert.

I'm down for one, but will probably be dust before it arrives

Looks OK, but where's the Lambton Tank to double-head when Reptile Repton stalls on Gothland Bank?

(Assistance required on both my only two experiences of 'Schools' haulage...)

How many (if any!) got preserved in real life and are they mainline certified?

The reason is i would buy one if i can justify it on a modern image layout.....

[PLD]

Three Preserved:

'Repton' on the NYMR (currently out of service awaiting overhaul).
'Stowe' I think is still at the Bluebell Railway.
'Cheltenham' owned by the NRM but recently restored at the Mid Hants Railway and touring other lines.

Not sure if Cheltenham is Mainline certified (it's moves seem to always be by road) - the other two I'm fairly certain are not.

That looks a handsome loco shame it'll probably be about 3 years before i see one
