Hanson 59, can anybody help me?

[Manxman]

Hi all,

Don't know if anybody could help here. I photographed a Hanson liveried Class 59 at 11:00 on Tuesday (19th) on the Reading-London line at White Waltham headed towards Maidenhead, but couldn't tell which.
I'm guesing it's a long shot but even if someone knows where I can look to find out it would be appreciated.

Cheers
David

It'll be one of the 59/1s, but I can't say which. None of the 59/0s or 59/2s carry the livery.

The loco can be identified from the front, in the centre of the yellow area between the headlights are a number of stars corresponding to the last digit of the loco number, 1 star 59101, 2 stars 59102 etc
Hope this helps

All the help has been appreciated, reckon 103 would be right for where it could have gone. Also the rake seems to match up.

Thanks
