Just seen on Twitter (https://twitter.com/RailFreight/status/1288835068752953344) that 90014 has just been named Over The Rainbow in recognition of the NHS and key workers in their roles during the pandemic.

Freightliner on Twitter (https://twitter.com/RailFreight/status/1288835068752953344) said:
We proudly present 'Over The Rainbow' recognising all key workers delivering vital goods and supplies during these challenging times. #keyworkers #StaySafe #overtherainbow

EDIT (New bit):

Also this:
Richard Clinnick (@richard_rail) on Twitter said:
@LNER has put 801230 into traffic today, while 801210 has begun mileage accumulation. This leaves 801212 as the last of the 122-strong IEP order to be delivered.

Not sure if it is of any interest/use but I thought I might as well put it on here. :)

I've just been having a look at the database and noticed that D1015 (Class 52) is described as being in "BR Turquoise". I know I am being extremely picky here, but I think it's called "chromatic blue". It's quite an interesting subject, the origins of which being impossible to find! I made a thread on the subject a while ago. I apologise in advance for confusion and many hours spent trying to work out chromatic blue's differences from normal BR blue!

Thanks for that, just had a read through the thread and it's interesting to see such an interest for a small colour change :lol: I'll get that updated now :)

You're welcome :) It's one of several things on the railway which you can just research and go on about for ages and ages...!

I'm currently going through the process of updating the 47's so if you see anything change don't be alarmed :)

Just to note as well, I do check the update submission daily so if it doesn't get updated instantly don't think it's because you're being ignored, I really appreciate the updates people are submitting. I'm just waiting on confirmation for 175101

Update 41.1

- @Joel_F has added images for all Class 314's and Class 375's. A big thank you to him! The 375's also denote which units are 3 car and others 4 car.

Just had a look and it looks really good! The images are good as well.

-Peter :)
Thank you! The images are absolutely stunning, he's done a fantastic job as usual on them

I'll be taking a short break from updates on the database, until around next week so I can have a break as me and Joel have been working extremely hard to get updates posted, not including the work 'behind the scenes' too. I hope you can all understand :)

I'm really liking the work that's been going into this database - the information you're providing I can see being very useful when out and about. :) I look forward to seeing what will happen with it in the future!

I'll be taking a break from now until unknown due to personal stuff, I'm really sorry
That's perfectly alright - you take as much time as you need. :)
The database is really useful to see what's what so you've done a good job so far!

Thanks Peter, so happy to hear that mine and Joel's work has meant something
No problem at all Ben, I hope everything is alright with you!
Thanks Joel, same with you. Sorry for not being in contact recently, haven't had much time

Hi everyone, I'm just asking you all what unit or loco you would like to see added to the list next. I started the 321's a few weeks back but haven't got round to finishing them so in the meantime, I'm curious as to whether you'd like to see Class 350's or another sort of Electrostar added. Let me know! :D

Personally I would love to see the Class 800s/802s added to the list. Would make the database even more useful than it already is! :D
The forums also seem to be notifying people of merged posts now (albeit with the notification that new post has been made), so that might be of some interest.
