What are they doing?
They're express engines. They're discussing the state of the railway (gossiping)
but fun thing, there are only 4 A4s here
far right isn't an A4, it's Hush Hush
yep, the LNER's rebuilt white elephant. By all acounts I've found, post rebuild she was just a non-standard A4. Although it is worth noting Gresley was considing rebuild the A4s with the boiler fit to no.10000, so he was impressed with that at part of the rebuild at least.
heading left, we have Golden Eagle
Empire of India (my beloved)
Golden Shuttle, who was later renamed Dwight D. Eisenhower and Preserved
and Dominion of New Zealand

Made a turn by King's Cross to have a look at their relatively new family waiting room on my trip to London last week. I was there mainly for the model railway, but the whole set-up is so brilliant I thought it really did warrant a bit more coverage.
Opening in 2022, the family waiting room features a variety of seating areas and a play area to keep children entertained while they wait for their train, and its design includes lots of references to the heritage of the East Coast Main Line, aiming to pique the interest of young travellers in the hope that it might bloom into a career in the rail industry. In all honesty, the thinking does seem a little cliche and almost politicised, but I still love the idea of a place where some thought is put into the experience of travel in an age when experience isn't nearly as frequently enough of a consideration as it should be. Raising a family can be challenging, and travelling with one even more so, so if we want to encourage families to travel at all, let alone by public transport, then putting the effort into creating places where children can be engaged and occupied during periods of waiting can go a long way to help.

Take a nice, long look at LNER A1 Pacific Flying Scotsman in their first version and the VR S-Class Pacific S300 (later to be named Matthew Flinders) pre-streamlining (built in 1928, designed by Alfred E. Smith).
Very similar, huh?
The overall form is quite similar, even down to the little dip in the running plate. The S-class Pacifics had a pure Gresley conjugated valve gear between the two Walschearts cylinders as well.
