Hello all together!

It's getting darker and darker outside since autumn finally broke through and so it's time again to think about modelling. :smile:

After spotting first models or at least very good visualisations of the upcoming class 89-models from Accurascale on the website of one the largest retailers, I'm thinking about ordering one. My favourite is the Intercity Swallow livery, but there'll be two different models on sale - Intercity Swallow livery in original condition and in current condition, which it gathered from its current owner (AC Locomotive Group). Please forgive me for this silly and stupid question, but what are the differences between these two models in case of livery, details etc.?

Informations would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards and have a nice remaining weekend
Phil from Germany

The AC Locomotive Group site has a lot of detail on the work which has been done on 89001 in preservation, but the only visible difference I could make out is that the present day version has the obsolete National Radio Network aerial removed.

I think there are very minor livery differences as well, the overhead line warning symbols being one of them if I remember correctly
