    Rather stunning transformation - part and parcel of the setup. I think she looks fab and I don't mind her keeping the BR Green if she goes back to being Central Star afterwards. Very much looking the part, and hey this time around it's an authentic portrayal. Well done GCR and NRM and the painting team. Top marks for interest and aesthetics.

    The loco looks superb.
    The only thing previously wrong with the BR lined green livery on 92214 was the lack of the copper cap on the chimney. I think the "copper" is painted on the loco, at the moment. My impression of the real 92220 is that the copper cap was simply sheet copper fabricated to shape and (probably) riveted onto the normal 9F cast double chimney.
    It would be quite simple for a copper cap to be made and attached to the cast chimney of 92214, in exactly the same way as that on the real 92220.
    If this was done, when the loco reverts to its 92214 identity, I think the overall appearance of the loco would be much better.
    After all, since 1960 (until the 92214 transformation) our eyes have been accustomed to seeing 92220 as the one and only 9F in lined green, always having a copper cap on the chimney.
    In my opinion - 92214 Central Star - BR lined green - copper capped chimney - complete!

    Would these be 1966 1984 or 1997 OLE warning flashes? I will say what gives it away but I must say its rather fun watching people squirm!

    92220 did not have yellow and red paint on the tender axlebox covers in BR days. They were painted black.

    92220 had a painted white smokebox number plate During her BR days. The bare brass she has now is a preservation touch

    Apologies if I've failed to spot this anywhere else, but is there any indication as to how long the current 'Evening Star' makeover will be retained?
