Looks good, has she got a white cab roof (i know it did have one) or is that the light reflecting off the cab roof?
Nice Pictures, she looks very good. If it's in BR Early Crest Green, shouldn't the Nameplates be back on her, as If I'm right she was running in Black asa prototype before.

The nameplates were being painted off the vehicle.
Yes you're right it's got a white cab roof, to do with the royal connection, apparently it pulled the funeral train of King George vi from Sandringham to london.

They're sprucing it up for a re-naming ceremony performed by Prince Charles on the 24th in Wakefield.

Thank goodness. It looked plain daft in black, worse it was double headed Disney-like with Tornado at the Watercress Autumn Gala.

Any times for the re-naming ceremony or which route it may take to get to wakefield.

I'm not sure, it'll look very similar to one we've already got. I thought it looked superb in black, very much like a 9F, which was no bad thing. Just needed to put nameplates on.
how about lined black? That'd look good.

The fact that black made it look like a 9F is EXACTLY why green is better and correct. Why try and make it look like a copy of something else, that's boring zzzzzzzzzz
