To celebrate HM The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, West Country Class 4-6-2 34027 Taw Valley was painted into this striking purple livery in early 2022, becoming No.70 Elizabeth II. Following the Queen's death on 8 September, the wording 1926-2022 was added below the nameplate. The loco is pictured at Bewdley on the Severn Valley Railway on 25 September 2022. |
