70000 Britannia

[neilgow]

I had anticipated 60163 making an appearance but instead I got a very acceptable substitute.

70000 westbound at Woodborough, GWR Berks & Hants line, heading for Bath and Bristol via Westbury. Passing at 1150. Probably running at 70mph but going very well and more or less silently.

to be honest

tornado seems to be to common now id rather want to see another locomotive such as britannia especially since i havent saw her in the black livery
although no nameplates?

Ay up, Wootang!

70000 is running in the condition in which she did a test run from Crewe to Carlisle before going back into the paint shop for her lined green livery so the lack of 'plates is correct.

I'd like to see her in lined green with "handhold" deflectors and the name painted onto them. I don't think either of the preserved Brits have run like that.

BB,

AHHHHHH right i always thought that the locomotive ran that livery for a certain amount of time didnt know it was just for running in trials
