Haha sorry if I just about beat you to it, I had a feeling somebody else was going to post about it as soon as I did... sod's law and all that

 

Wow. I thought it looked good in blue, but that….

 

It's been a pet project for a small team of 5 of us, have to say that I have been like an excited child on Christmas every time we got a little bit more done on the repaint!

Looks even better in the sunshine!

 

Looks stunning.

Whilst I love seeing her in CR blue, it's great to see her in a different guise- especially one as vibrant as this.

I expect this will be a massive hit with BKR visitors.

• Locomotion Models: 419 in 1975 condition https://www.locomotionmodels.com/ra...9-no-419-s-dr-150th-cavalcade-dark-lined-blue

 

The darker Caledonian Blue is one of my favourite liveries and the lighter shade 419 previously had also looked great, but this LMS one looks gorgeous as well. Great work by everyone involved.

 

Looks superb. Well done.

 

Absolutely gorgeous. And I'm delighted to see the back of BR Black on it!

 

Merry Christmas from Bo'ness where there are options beyond Mk1s.
