150282 of 6G

[6Gman]

Noted today that 150282, at one end at least, has acquired a "shedplate" for
6G (Llandudno Junction). I am, of course, delighted to be honoured in this way, but it seems a bit harsh on 86A who still do the heavy work on it!

Very curious! My first reaction was to wonder how "official" that is.

On further digging, it appears to be rather longstanding, as this image from Flickr suggests that it had a plain "6G" on its front as far back as 2011, and then had its replica shedplate as of April this year.

Its been on for years, I think it was to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the opening of the Conwy Valley line in 2009
