Looks stunning in the BR livery with the German style deflectors. IMO, that green is FAR better than the Gresley apple green. It now looks like a machine with a mission.
As a post script, Virgin Trains as compensation to the poor guy, are flying him to the States foc on holiday. That is how you do PR

As an aside to the German style deflectors, because West Coast Rail in the UK has lost its accreditation to operate on the main line,(and they operated or crewed about 90% of British main line steam operations) because of the spad last year, the crew were a specially brought in German DB crew. What this all means for main line steam in the UK remains to be seen, but there could be a long hiatus. What a shame.
ps, you never confuse a Kiwi for an Aussie and you certainly never confuse an Aussie for a Kiwi
