Neat idea! Popular three cylinder pacific in the UK under restoration, voters can vote (with a small donation) to choose the livery for the first year. Funds pay for the livery and restoration costs.

I would not be able to help myself, I'd have to vote for the correct LMS red livery. But that British Rail blue looks pretty sharp!!!!!!!!!!!

Maroon with LMS lettering is not up for vote, as it is the trust's preferred color- this will be the livery after the year is up. However, this is inaccurate. I too like the BR blue and think a gathering of her in this scheme along with the blue A4 and the ex GWR King would look tremendous!

I like the idea of the vote system for the livery when she returns from her overhaul and will be voting for the BR blue myself. I have had the privelage of travelling behind this loco and photographing her on the mainline numerous times during her last mainline ticket and look forward to the completion of the overhaul hopefully at the end of this year.

The overhaul itself is coming along well and updates can be found here:-

For those of you, There are way to many locomotives in the UK right now in BR Green. Please do anything to vote for the Blue Paint Scheme. If you have international phone service you can vote as many times as you want.

At this time BR green(yawn) is in the lead. So again do anything you can to get your votes across the ocean to the phone numbers listed below the paint scheme.
