[modeleng] Re: First new steam loco for 42 years

Actually, if we're talking about British main line steam locos, it's the 
first for 48 years, not 42..........Evening Star was turned out in May 1960.

There have, of course, been several 'new build' narrow gauge locos, and 
replicas of early locos, built in the intervening years.

Ron
