As a Mr Clarkson would say, OH YES

Thank you great algorithm gods, for this is exactly what I needed. I have no idea what this train is doing or why it's making noise, but it is very shiny

It's so shiny because it's brand new! It's a replica of an LBSCR H2 Atlantic. The originals were built between 1911 and 1912 to haul express passenger trains between London and Brighton - but sadly, they were all withdrawn by 1958 and all scrapped. Fortunately, a group of hard-working volunteers wasn't willing to let them be forgotten - and they built a new one!

Hopefully not, that would suggest it had departed the locomotive in a rather vigorous manner 😂
