There are those who would have you believe that locomotives painted in Great Western livery never go wrong. Clearly they have not kept up with 6024's antics over the last couple of years Wink

It looks great, so much better than many of the garish liveries we've had on British railways since privatisation.

There's one "Great Western" numbered D1748 (pre-TOPS^▸ style?) in BR^▸ two-tone green, for the past couple of weeks parked up in the yard near Temple Meads.
