    Steve,

    You need to get your priorities right and pull a sicky next weekend. You know it makes sense. Last chance to photograph 34007, one of Mr Bulleids dream machines.

    Apparently her current livery is getting a bit worn out so the MHR intend to refresh it next year according to the report.

    It says BR Lined Passenger green which according to my search is this livery:

    I guess the grime will be optional!

    If 30925 is going to be repainted then I wouldn't mind seeing it facing out of Alresford for a change. I did hear some people calling for 30925 to be painted in Black and with the earlier BR emblem.

    J*s@s wept! Pound-for-pound undoubtedly the finest passenger engine ever to run in Britain, and people want to paint it black!

    I doubt it will be.............

    The 9F, Ivatt, black 5, & Std 4 are all black, so for a splash of colour (!) I can see her being in BR green.

    i argeed with Duty Druid with the splash of colour in Ropley. Cheltenham is a Passenger Engine after all. I asked the question about a BR Black School in preservation more of curiosity then anything else.

    wouldn't that require permission from the NRM and, if i remember correctly, they're not keen on the idea of renaming their locos
