She was working beautifully, no slipping or anything :)

It was my first sight of this loco a few years ago that made me get my bacchy 04

Just as a query, is the lettering / numbering in the correct format?

Looks out of proportion to me (too large), and not the right font or perhaps its the lack of shading. No matter though, lovely engine!

Off-white LNER lettering is not something that I have any knowledge of - unless the idea is to represent hurried on-shed 1946 renumbering - but the local painters surely would not have bothered with the LNER lettering on the tender, just the number.
