    Well somebody thinks that Tornado needs to 'reinvent' itself every so often and I guess painting it with something off the appropriate colour chart is a way of doing it. At least that way the loco satisfies everyone's colour preference at some point.

    If only that was true...someone, somewhere will object to everything it wears, or even it's very existence.

    There was a hint of irony in my comment. For instance in his time at Tyseley I don't think there was much chance that Bob Meanley would allow anyone to paint 5043/7029 - you name it - in any colour other than the proper one.

    Any one up for any of these four? My own preference would be for North British Green. I also like how the cylinder covers are painted, was that a Darlington preference?

    Any colour's fine by me but I wish the nameplate backing colour was black not pale blue

    Just out of interest was that a region thing? Blue Peter’s had red, black and light blue plates, 35028 has red and black plates. I’ve always thought the light blue was a Scottish thing?

    Pale blue is a good nameplate colour. Ask any BB Pacific owner. :)

    Any colour that's not red! Red looks magnificent on an ex-LMS or ex-LT engine, not so much on (almost) anything else...

    Taw Valley's red makeover was horrific, but 2253 Omaha wears the red well.

    It’s maroon actually! Same shade as used by EWS I believe? Could it have happened if the Merchant Navies had gone to the London Midland?

    I always understood it was a nod to the RAF origins of the name

    I agree about the nameplate. 60114 'W P Allen' (36A Doncaster) had the pale blue nameplate when I saw it in 1964. Eye-catching at the time, maybe the only pale blue plate I saw and I remember it with fondness, but it clashed with the loco.

    The pale blue on that huge Tornado nameplate detracts. Black, as you say, or red would have been better.

    How would Blue Peter fit in with that though?
