Oh my. It's 1996 and 9 year old me is back trainspotting at Doncaster with my dad...
Nothing yet. I assume paths'll only be put in if it's authorised to go out tomorrow, and then only at the last minute.Is there a path up yet?
Or, perhaps "The fall and rise of 91119"?Can I suggest changing the title of this thread to 'Game On for 91119'?
Unlikely. Whilst the 313 shows that the contrasting doors thing can be made to work, it'd be far harder to do with IC livery. I don't know how often the 91s switch rakes, but they do switch... so if they did a rake, it wouldn't stay together for long.Are LNER putting a full Mk4 + DVT in the swallow liberty as well?

Good lord.
Very nice! I wonder if we may see an LNER silver, blue and apple green 91's. Would make a great line-up!
If they were going to do that, I don't think they'd have put the current number on first...Very nice.
Wonder if it will get it's original
number back 91019.
Well, for fun, I suppose, just like IC livery application is fun. I mean, GBRf has applied liveries to its 66s (large logo blue and BR green) that are not 'authentic'; there is no fundamental reason why LNER couldn't do likewise. I don't think they will, but that's not to stop others dreaming about what they think will look nice!sigh. why would that happen?
The revinyling or painting clearly wasn't finished at the time that photo was taken. Note also that the bodyside grilles and cab window frame hadn't been reliveried.Not the original livery but a modern take on it, why you ask?
Because the original didn't have the red along the windscreen and the side window as you can see below:

WOWSERS - that looks pretty good! Thanks for sharing.
( warning paint wibble!)

The Original Design
LNER Remake
So if that is the finished product by LNER, I don't like it.
Love it
I appreciate that it's highly unlikely that there would ever be a reoccurrence of this as you can't just go closing down a busy section of the East Coast main line willy nilly, but it could look quite effective if LNER could somehow 'borrow' 43002 from GWR (Though that power car could be becoming part of the national collection fairly soon), though that's even more than less than unlikely.Looks like it's time for that line up photo again, Azusa,225,125,deltic and flying Scotsman.
