The headboard is what I have the biggest objection to. H220 is one of a kind, there
should be no modifications to this historic loco at all. At least there is a K, A2,
D3, R, Y and a J in the museum to show what these locomotives were like in VR
service. If you "restore" H220 to service, then there are no examples of an
unmodified VR H class.
