What's going on here? There are two puzzling edits by User:Mjroots which not only remove an image, but then try to speedily delete that image (surely an excessive reaction, whatever the outcome here).

The editor's assertion seems to be that because one on-line database describes the loco as "unrestored", there is thus some problem with a modern photo that seems to show it in steam. Now unless they're claiming that the photo is either faked / photoshopped / taken through the windows of the Tardis, then I'd suggest that this photo suggests the database is either wrong or simply not applicable at the time the photo was taken. Note that the database entry itself claims to be last updated in 2005, so that's a few years since for the restoration to be completed.
Preserved UK locos are 40+ years out of service and boiler tickets last for 10 years. Any preserved loco is thus likely to have had three or four periods when it could be described as "unrestored", even when it's one of the hard-working stalwarts of a railway that has been in service in what could just as well be described as "almost continuously". To react in this way and try to turn the loco into an un-loco seems most excessive, let alone the question of WP:BITE around trying to speedily delete a photo of it!
