Dan Griffin Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It was painted this way in real life. As a nod to emergency vehicles that had writing on their bonnets so that it could be read in a rear view mirror. I think it was unique to 25095 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It might have worked better if other trains had had rear view mirrors!! It was just a bit ahead of its time!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
