    I don't normally go for BR liveries, but Calborne looks fantastic. Well done to the Havenstreet team and LNWR Heritage for bringing this unique survivor back to life :)

    Regards,

    Absolutely fabulous. Have seen her in Malachite and Olive Green so now for BR black. Can't wait for an opportunity to cross the Solent.
    Well done to all concerned.

    I thought she wasn't due back for another year but what a surprise. She looks stunning.

    Wow! I've seen so many photos of O2's in BR black, but that just looks fantastic. Cant wait to see her in the flesh.

    Brilliant news! Great to have the grand old lady back!

    I could cross the Solent any day this week, should you have any info about whether she's likely to be in light steam any particular day! Would love to take some photos!

    Calborne is likely to be in steam during the early part of the week for testing, not sure when it will fully enter service though. This is the first time a fully lined BR black O2 has been since the others were scrapped in 1967.

    Pretty little loco, well done to all concerned in bringing her back.

    Was there any reason Isle of Wight loco's never carried smokebox numberplates ?.

    Talking of numberplates, i'd forgotten they ever carried shedplates! - they're virtually invisible on most photos with all the dirt, especially in B&W.

    ..btw Gary, its Calbourne!

    I prefer'd her in southern livery with small bunker, but she looks ok.

    A grand job! She looks superb in BR Black. I think a visit to the Isle of Wight is in order during my week off at the end of August.
