Thank You @Mag_seven

Ahead of this weekends railtour, group stalwart and joint world record holding power car 43159 has been returned to Intercity Executive by UKRL at Loughborough.

I will also update the post at the top of the thread as there has been some recent changes since I made that post!

We’ve been keeping a little secret….

43159 now has HST 50 plates like 43025/048/060; they were fitted at UKRL during its repaint.

That is nice. I remember when that livery first appeared we were calling it ‘APT livery’. It felt so futuristic. I think the first loco I saw in it was a class 86 at Northampton station, somewhere I have a photo.
