    Fabulous loco :thumbs:, it really needs to be seen on the main so lots of people could see it doing what it was built for.

    Come to think of it, wouldn't a streamlined A4 look great in Malachite or Maunsell green.... :avatar::avatar:

    Cheers, Gary.

    Yes they did Ian, nos. 6220 'Coronation', 6221 'Queen Elizabeth', 6222 'Queen Mary'. Some of the non streamlined locos were painted blue as well, such as 'Duchess Of Atholl' and 'Duchess Of Norfolk'.

    Cheers, Gary.

    ......and apart from that, they don't have Bulleid's "Firth Brown" cast wheels!:avatar::avatar::avatar:

    To be fair though, it seems there's a good spread of "Regional preferences" amongst the 'Mods".

    Got to admit, 'spam cans' do look good in their particular shade of green.

    Amazing what a 'ferkle' through some of my photographic archives finds! Unfortunately, with this one, it was raining just a bit!:giggle:

    Taken at Blackwell, next village to my home.
