    Well, It doesn't look like June for 5690. Maybe July?

    Nope, not looking like July either!

    Could it have been 44932 in the video?

    I assume its 61264 beyond it too.

    44932 isn't at Carnforth at the present time. It is booked to head north from Southall today though including a stop at Didcot while the FBU strike happens. And 61264 hasn't been at Carnforth for months; it has been at it's home of the NYMR for a good while now this year.

    Red boiler bands suggests a black 5 not a 5xp. Even with 5699 in a shade of maroon. I cant see 5690 coming out in line BR black.

    O I have no problem with it. It will be nice to see her not in LMS crimson. Something completely different. A 5X in BR line black.

    Seems you original question has been answered Mike. No doubt there will be videos of the first test run.

    Jubilees used to be lined black in the 1950's, but did they have stanier tenders ?

    And a Stanier tender has a 4000 gallon capacity compared with the low sided version of the Fowler tenders that only held 3500.

    Will there be anything left on the mainline painted in pre-nationalisation colours? While it is nice to have changes, i find it really sad that we can't seem to have more variety on mainline engines these days.

    P.S. nice to see the Jubilee is back though
