Not long after, 66421 heads north thro' Horrocksford Jn with 6C89 Mountsorrel-Carlisle. This pic was taken in the company of the perosn that fitted the nameplates!

And turning the other way, 66718 emerges from behind the bushes to run round before propelling 6S00 Clitheroe-Mossend out onto the mainline .

I passed Leeds Midland Road on Friday afternoon on the train and I noticed G & W Orange/Black liveried 66413 and 66501 at the top of the first headshunt, the one closest to the mainline. 66413 had a bagged over nameplate on the side that I could see, so it looks like it will be attending an event/ceremony soon. 

 

Hope this is of use.

66413 was named 'Lest We Forget' at Southampton Maritime on 5th November.  This tweet from Freightliner Group shows the event.

Thank you very much for letting me know.

 

I was going to post that I have just passed again on the train and it wasn't visible so I assumed it had departed the depot. 

 

Really hoping that Bachmann or Hattons produce this one in OO Gauge, especially now it's named.

Odds on before too long I should think.
