    I too got an AVG alert.

    All that aside, 70000 is looking fantastic. Very much looking forward to seeing her at Canterbury on the 7th of April.

    Must be something AVG doesn't like. I use Norton & Windows Defender & the link works ok.

    Woops - sorry! Only meant to put the link to the photo, not insert it in the post. My mistake.

    Here she is at Crewe HC today. Shiny black paint, sans nameplates. Unfortunately, I don't think the livery does it justice. Mind you, it's up to the owner what colour he has it painted. My preference has nothing to do with it.

    Re: 70000 "Britannia" at Crewe

    Thanks Graham - my word, what a beauty! :)

    The comparison between 70000 and 70013, as I saw her in BR Green at the GCR many times, is something extraordinary. Its strange how certain colours give the same type of engine wholly different looks. 70013 looked elegant to me: 70000 looks powerful, but understated.

    Looks like the pump chucks out some "splatter" on the smokebox going by that picture.
    She looks grand in that livery. Nice shots Graham.
