RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted June 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2019 As far as I can recall, the railroad version didn’t have the black Band across the length of the windows. This looks like a standard version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other locomotives on display included three Class 73s, Class 37 No. 37 407 Blackpool Tower, a Class 33, two MLVs, a 2 Car EPB and the 6 Car Hastings Unit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It would have been nice to see a non-Railroad Javelin of the Visitor Centre. Thanks for the extra photos of 'the event'. I should have seen the roof detail where the pantograph is - definitely 88 not 68. For today's announcement, I was still hoping for that TPE 802 - 'though I might have been looking at alternative accommodation this weekend had it have been so!!
