    Was told what the film is due to be called but can't remember I'm afraid - sorry, not very helpful I know! Anyhow, 9017 now looks like her normal self again and was in service today.
    Cheers,
    Jon

    Hopefully the hire fees will have compensated for 9017's temporary 'look' :)

    It looks real to me! The support columns of the cowcatcher beam resting on the buffers are throwing a shadow across the front edge of the smokebox as is the lamp on the top edge.

    Regards,

    Dan

    If it is an April Fools then it is a pretty naff one. I know that City of Peterborough was 'Europeanised' this winter for, I think, Poirot. If it happened well done to the owners for finding another source of income, if it didn't that is a rubbish April Fools!

    Matt's reply to grimeater raises an interesting philosophical question.
    Is reality just a naff April Fool's joke?
