    She looks great. I wonder will they be persuaded to keep her in this livery a bit longer? Who's for a meeting of 6023, 60007 and 46233 in Blue at Didcot?

    Now, just because of what's going on on another thread here, how about

    6000 in green
    6023 in blue
    and.....
    6024 in red
    as a line-up that would pull in a lot of people?

    Did any of the Kings ever appear in British Railways red ?
    As much as I like Great Western green locomotives, a red, blue and green King line up :)

    As far as I'm aware no ex-GWR locomotive was ever painted red but I bet someone now will prove me wrong! I'm not counting "Olton Hall" in its "Hogwarts" livery of course. Having seen the maroon Hall in action on the GWR it has a very smart paint job but the colour doesn't really suit the profile and embellishments (brass etc) of the locomotive but that could just be because its unusual. The Blue King was an historically correct scheme and this, I'm sure will be awesome if the photos posted thus far are any clue. I'm only very sorry that I can't visit Didcot on 2 April!

    I vaguely remember reading somewhere that sometime in Churchward days a large Prairie was outshopped in the GWR's carriage crimson lake livery, just to see how it looked. It didn't last long.

    Oh and the 15xxs in NCB service :D

    Isn't this getting way off topic now? Virtually every thread/post in the steam traction section turns into a major livery discussion. Starting to get boring.

    We, on this forum are developing an unhealthy :)-) obsession with colour . 6023 looks wonderful in her new livery . It would be nice to see her alongside 6000 especially as they are both "full" height as Collett intended

    I think 6023 is "convertable", can be either height.

    if she's intended for mainline, i wouldn't have though 6023 was full height?

    As buseng said, she's convertible - interchangeable chimney, cab roof, whistles lay horizontal etc - it's all in the steam beano this month.

    She is full height at the moment, but has a cut down cab & safety valve assembly when operating on the main line. Which is easily changed over.

    Rather it has two cab roofs and a removable section in the frontsheet to reduce the height, but 2 chimneys, 2 safety valve bonnets and the whistles can be remounted horizontally.
