    As soon as I saw the photos, I thought it was Falcon. Very good paint job.
    Despite being 22A, I'm pleased they've put a 82A shed plate on.

    Looks great

    If only more of the mainline operators would follow similar ideas with liveries, it really does add a touch of class compared to a lot of the gaudy, naff looking liveries on modern stuff of late.

    It would have been even more impressive were it Falcon's original livery - but somehow I don't see GBRf doing a "Lion 2"...! Agreed though - GBRf do a truly excellent job paying homage to past locomotives and liveries.

    They've done a great job with the Class 69s, a range of historical nods and tributes. I'd love to see photos of the whole class together.
