East Coast Commemorates WW1 Centernary


Recommended Posts

East Coast today named 91111 "For the Fallen" to commemorate 100 years since the outbreak of WW1 - the loco has been outshopped in a simply stunning vinyl livery. I was able to grab a few pictures as it came through Peterborough...

Apparently the first of 5 locomotives to be painted to commemorate WW1 centenary.

 

91118 expected to be done next with a livery based on tanks.

 

Of note, 91111 still carries Cuneo's painted mice.... One can be seen in the 2nd photo below the grille sitting on the purple stripe.

Amazing livery, hopefully a photo opportunity will arise with all the WW1 locos, and 91110 in the Battle of Britain scheme, once they are all complete.

 

I assume it was no coincidence that this particular loco was selected, seeing as its number contains "eleven eleven".
