92214 Cock of the North to stay at the GCR (Now Central Star) - Soon to be 92220 Evening Star

[The Stationmaster]

92214 is to run as 92220 'Evening Star' http://www.gcrailway.co.uk/special-events/railways-at-work-weekend-1819-april/

 

 

Looks like being the ultimate confusion for the punters, I'm surprised that the NRM have gone along with it (unless they are being handsomely reimbursed ).

[Corbs]

Not really any more confusing than 'Bittern' running as 'Silver Link'?

[RedgateModels]

Ah but Silver Link (the real one) is long since gone. The real Evening Star is mothballed in the NRM still.

Also the red 8F is no longer going to be red.

 

You can fool some of the people some of the time ...

That's true, I still have no qualms with it, only if they appeared in the same place at the same time would I be concerned!

[Bon Accord]

The big question is are they going to inflict a copper capped chimney on it!

[Corbs]

I hope so

[avonside1563]

Easiest way to add the copper cap is a few packs of this stuff http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/doff-slug-and-snail-copper-tape---4m-670664

Latest news regarding the 9F is that it is set to appear at a forthcoming gala in unlined black and in weathered condition.

So who is going to have a go at air brushing it.  

[Cornish Triang Paul]

If I owned a 9f, I would paint it SDJR blue ; so there !

OK, I sense a Photoshop challenge there...

As Henry Ford nearly said, you can paint it any colour you want, so long as it's black.

I imagine this will be the same treatment that the 9F had before (and the 8F more recently) - poster paint. It's pretty convincing!

[caradoc]

Surely a 9F is the perfect loco to show what a steam engine would have looked like in BR blue with double arrows, if only they had lasted a bit longer ?

[Wild Boar Fell]

Erm, wasn't that gala last year when 92214 was changed from lined black to green via weathered plain black?

[andyram]

Don't give anyone ideas.

[Colin]

What about Railfreight grey, with the red stripe along the running plate and a large double arrow on the tender?

Already been done, by BR, with matching coaches. They worked uphill out of Aberystwyth! Looked B----y awful.

Plain rail blue did look pretty dreadful on the VoR locos but lined out was not too bad.

[andyram]

You will be suggesting painting it in EWS maroon next!

[Colin]

Or Loadhaul.......

If I went to a concert to hear Bert Bloggs, Elton John impersonator, no matter how good he was, I've still heard Bert Bloggs, not Elton John!

If the buffer-beam was Yellow, instead of the section below the smokebox, and the Smoke deflectors remained black, I think it'd look alright...

The time I saw Elton John live, I left wishing it had been Bert Bloggs.... or almost anyone else......
