    That's a shame, it looked good in BR black.
    What's with the warning flashes ? -it's not going mainline is it ?

    When locos run round at Keighley, the move takes them adjacent to the electrified Aire Valley line so maybe that explains the flashes.

    You only asked about 5820. :)
    Maybe it has tighter clearances. Need a KWVR man to answer this I think.
