They do look good but shame the front valence isn't white 

 

Was just about to say the same thing, I just can't understand how a designer (or the paintshop!) wouldn't recognise that the valence is a key part of the pointed nose end, and gives it its sleek shape. Same as with the FGW green and gold HSTs, and VTEC/LNER - one of the 91s in the latter ended up with a white valence and looked so much better. Looks like the cheap train set version of Hornby's old models.

 

I can't help but think if I'd been in charge of painting them, they'd have come out with it in white... "Oops, sorry, we must have missed that on the plans..."

I like the reduced front yellow panel looks better like that I think.

I headed to Brands Hatch this weekend for the Super Touring Power weekend.  On the way down, on Friday stopped at Frinkley Lane crossing between Grantham and Newark, and managed to see three of the class in one and a half hours.

This was 91114 Durham Cathedral at Leeds a few weeks ago. A friend is a graduate of Durham University & loved that the background on the nameplate is palatinate.

 

The old Leeds power signal box isn’t quite as iconic as Birmingham New Street, but looks pretty fine.
