possibly not accurate to Haulwen at MA but No8 certainly has them so it’s pro-typical. As No8 is in LMR livery and 7754 is in BR colours then it was a reasonably good opportunity to do something different. regards Matt

Accurate or not I think looks pretty nice :) Not to mention that I don't think many British steam locos have worn wasp stripes in preservation, let alone in this black & white style so I think it helps in making Haulwen look unique
