    I'm amazed you ever consented to that, Ian! Or were you over-ruled? :eek:

    No wonder the last overhaul was so expensive if you had to rebuild and then un-rebuild 34081 ;)

    Which loco was changed to this identity?

    I remember that, I was about 12/13 and being totally unconvinced by it! The giveaway for me was the tender totem being rather faded for a supposed ex works loco!

    It fooled some people though. The Bulleid Ultras were less than impressed. Some of the letters were a tad vitriolic. :)

    Seem to recall 45699 made a similar short foray prior to other longer test runs. Any idea what function it serves given the not inconsiderable track access charge probably incurred?
