"Buxton Forester" with 40145 and 37248

[The Snap]

What an excellent day it was too! '145 was on top form as usual, the weather was excellent and the tour ran very smoothly. Well done to Mark Elderkin, Past-Time Rail, CFPS and WCRC for making it a fabulous day - certainly the best tour I've ever done!

See www.bveroutes-trains.co.uk/gallery/buxton.html for the rest of them!

I will upload a video soon, featuring 40145 blowing the roof off Preston station!!!

Comments welcome...

I hate the fact that 40145 is now in this livery. Please correct me if i am mistaken but 40's did not ever carry large logo blue livery.

You're right, they didn't

Actually, 40145 did, during a stint as 40445 in the early 90s.

1991, i think

 

[Wayfarer Sam]

I stand corrected then. I did think it was a shame to put heritage traction in a livery it would have never carried in mainline use.

It has never carried LL in BR days...

 

[pedned]

Sam dont be fooled...
It was in preservation

No 40 ever carried Large Logo in BR service. If they had lasted a few more years then more then a handfull would have probably been painted into it.

But none ever did, and dont think 40145 was ETS fitted (when it was 40445), it was just a mock up to look like a 37/4, fake ETS boxes included.

I never claimed it wasn't!

Anyway, it's now an authentic historical livery for the main line, as carried in July 2007....
