    The paint was looking tired, especially over the firebox. Refreshing the black was the quickest (and cheapest - v v important) answer. I am not aware of any plan to return to a Maunsell livery scheme.

    Normally would agree about losing a loco in pre-nat livery but it has been 20+ years since we saw an S15 in Br black; 825 and 847 have been flying the flag for Maunsell green so a change is nice (IMO).

    Looking on the bright side (if more happiness is required) 506 had Southern on the tender when we had the biggest gathering of Bullied coaches since withdrawal from BR, 6, back in early 2020. Now it is in the same livery as the mk1 carriage fleet. :)
