Lovely to see an old friend back in running order. Also very pleased to see 5110 has retained its Holyhead shed code.

Not my pic, but would appear to be confirmation that 5110 has been overhauled (with thanks to @Breva for highlighting the link). https://www.reddit.com/r/uktrains/comments/1tiiu0r/spotted_lms_stanier_class_5_being_transported/
