I don't understand, if it's to be oil fired, why is the cab at the back with the poor visibility which was always one of the main disadvantages of coal fired locos? To me, the streamling is reminiscent of the GWR 5005 Manorbier Castle. Will the 5AT attract steam enthusiasts, or would they prefer a near replica of an old design such as the A1 Tornado?
