    Nothing that a coat of black paint wouldn't put right. :D

    The BR Maroon will do just nicely thank you. :D 46441 being announced has brought back a lot of memories, as far as I can recall it was my first ever steam loco for haulage. Sometime in the mid 90s, just before it went into BR Black.

    Well, when all the others are in black, I don't think it hurts too much for one of them to be in a rather lovely shade of maroon instead ;)
