Although the less-than-Aston Martin standards of panel-beating are no surprise I do wonder if it was strictly necessary to have so many competing angles. It gives the impression that it's going to leak like a sieve! But I'm sure appearances are deceptive..... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubs01 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 So how long until she's in service? (But the same could go for 001 & 002, besides the railtour haven't seen them pull a train yet) Will be nice to see what one will look like in normal GBRf livery.

tubs01 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Also I do apologize if I'm being a bit thick, but since some of the 56s to be be converted are Romanian built, does that mean they will look in anyway different to the UK built ones that have and will be rebuilt? If I remember correctly one said Romanian grid has the buffer beam cowling;any chance at all that it might keep it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
