Since all 6 A4's are going to be re united once more, has anyone thought of re painting of the A4's back into the 1946-47 colour scheme with their numbers during that time? I would love to see maybe Bittern in post war livery with the number 19, or maybe even wartime black? But other than that does anyone know what all the liveries of all the locomotives are going to be? Thanks.

That's news to me. I'd heard that they planned to keep 4464 in valances for as long as possible. Maybe it's just a ruse and she'll appear as one of the apple green A4's

A long overdue scenario! Fingers crossed!

Wonderful! Thanks for the information. Also, will Dominion of Canada be going back to Canada in the garter blue livery? That'd be a site for the Canadians!
