    Are you mistaking the appearance of 853 is so far as it was in DRS base blue minus all the additional decals perhaps?

    Cheers Matt looks good. Apologies & thanks for posting the pic.

    I was quoting what I had only just read yesterday!!

    The former XP64 loco lives on!! Personally I did like the retro repaint Virgin did back in the day.
