DOes history relate as to whether 165127 has had air cooling fitted yet?
A dynamics livery 165 left Reading yesterday, I thought they'd all been repainted?
802021 has the nose end stickers (seen today).800320 & 800033 also have the GWR nose logo/1st Class end stripe/bike stickers etc.
150207 looking splendid in full GWR colours on Bristol to Westons today.
Both appear to be from Plymouth - although technically Reynolds is from Plympton (a suburb of Plymouth).802011 now carries two names.
On vehicle 1, "Capt. Robert Falcon Scott RN CVO" (subtitle "Scott of the Antarctic" with an outline of the continent).
On vehicle 5, "Sir Joshua Reynolds PRA" (subtitle "Celebrating 250 years of the Royal Academy of Arts" with building image behind name). The image make some of the name very difficult to read.
Usually the two names have a related theme. Does anyone know what R F Scott and J Reynolds had in common (I don't!)?
I believe the structural bodywork of the 80x family will beg to differ...With all due respects - GWR are at least naming their trains with some historic and national importance. I think the cab disk things are a stupid idea. You can never really beat a full size cast name plate..
43154/186 both now repainted green at Wabtec Doncaster.
Think I saw it at Barton Hill yesterday so probably won’t be long. Only 158955, 158960 and possibly 158763 left to do now if my calculations are correct. Hopefully 955 first as that unit looks really haggered.Is 158958 back out after it’s refurb yet?

I would have to agree as 955 does look a bit run down but knowing GWR it will be the last one to be doneThink I saw it at Barton Hill yesterday so probably won’t be long.

Indeed.The order doesn't depend on the cosmetic condition as we saw with two 150/2s
As does 800005 today (14 Feb).800006 now has nose end logos, etc.
