    B473 looked spot on with the maunsells in the crisp winter sun.

    Here's a link to a short clip I took using the video option on my Pentax K7 DSLR of the E4 climbing Freshfield Bank.

    Whilst I'm sure a dedicated HD camcorder would provide better quality, it does go to show these new DSLR's that offer video mode can produce good quality video feed.

    Yes I must admit although my Dad and I are prodominently BR livery fans the E4 matched with the olive green carriages does look seriously good.

    Here's a further video clip I've added on youtube that I took today of the C class on the service train at Freshfield Bank. Just to say there's no sound until about 30 seconds in because I forgot to switch on the external mic. Doh! lol

    Great pictures and videos everyone I've always loved that Southern liviery. I look forward to seeing Birch Grove at the Branch Line weekend and great to see that a Fairburn has returned to a part of their home terroritory.

    As B473 the colour should be bright. I believe it was called sage green and preceded the maunsell light and dark olive used later. Look up some pics of B110 (Burgundy) on the East Somerset, that was even more sickly!
