    Immediately post war 119 was outshopped in fully lined SR Malachite green and used on Royal train duties and was used as such into BR days, hence the British Railways lettering in SR Bulleid Sunshine style and BR smokebox plate as 30119; I believe she was withdrawn and scrapped around 1956.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    I personally don't think there was a better looking loco.
