🚆 South Western Railway have repainted a Class 455 unit into a retro BR livery - and it looks splendid!

@JohnIanCarter1 I quite liked the all black livery myself. Although is does look great in blue. I’d like to see it return to LNER’s original garter blue with the number plate take off etc.

🚂 Sir Nigel Gresley has been back out on the ECML today!

🔵 How lucky are we to see the locomotive still doing what it was built to do all the way back in 1937?

🌟 15/10 - 🐐

🚂 This is a O2 Class from the old Taff Vale Railway - what a sturdy little critter.

🚆 This is a Class 455 - an old, yet reliable steed.

🔴 The units are on borrowed time - but what a 40-year stint it’s been for these noble trains.

⭐️ 14/10 - May they last a good while yet.
