Standard. Beautiful restoration. I've been following it on the 6029 web site for a couple of years. The whole thing was accomplished outdoors. They don't have an enclosed shop. Very impressive effort. Love those Garratts. This beauty is big but I think it's T.E. is only 67,000# or something like that. A D&RGW L105 by comparison puts things in perspective. Here's a film from 1967 that shows these Garratts double headed on Fassifern Bank.
