Sounds so much better now they've put the A4 whistle on it, doesn't it.

[littlegiant18794]

She is in LNER Apple Green :) I hope this comes to the SVR Spring Gala or our Autumn Gala.

I think she will be running on the Main Line,but you can always hope.

[cray1996]

She is registered so i can hope, as i believe they said it will visit any Preserved railway thats mainline connected.

[bluehat1310]

yes,you are right.I remember reading that info.too.

[AndrewNeilClarkson]

I agree with the paint scheme, I think it looks very good as it is, especially with the stainless steel website address on tender side.

[bluehat1310]

She certainly is.....thanks for the rating

[theamateurbasher]

A beauty she is, isn't she? 5*

[SticklebackDepot]

what a sexy locomotive, can they not just leave her in grey?

[georgemiser]

aparently shes going to be repainted in LNER green.you think think she looks unusual on the main line now?with LNER green pain she'll definetly look like shecame thru the other end of a time portal.

[theamateurbasher]

They can't leave her in grey forever I'm afraid; they've got to, at some point, to apply it's early (circa 1948) BRITISH RAILWAYS livery.

[SticklebackDepot]

Can they not do that after her major overhaul in 10yrs time?

[bluehat1310]

If you think she looks good in grey,imagine how brilliant she will look in a shiny new top coat,whatever the colour.

[SticklebackDepot]

isnt she been painted right now?
