RailAdventure Power Cars

Street word: Have the 2 x weathered blue power cars been painted red?

No @DarloRich

I’m assuming you are referring to the 2 Romic Power Cars (43094 & 43122) that have recently been released from Burton in new Romic livery.

The 2 blue ones are still in Scotland

cheers - I thought it didn't sound right! Spotter wibble - Although they were right that the red power cars and a short rake of coaches were off to a preserved railway in Norfolk so partial credit I guess!

ROMIC hire ins 20007 & 20205 working 0650 0A11 Burton OT Wetmore Sidings to Wembley Loco Sidings via Manton, ECML & Hertford Loop - 1730 0O19 - 2210 6Q23

The 6Q working above should be a drag of 3 class 555s and accompanying barrier/brake wagons

Yes correct. 555034, 555037 & 555043 should be the 3 Tyne & Wear units.
