50007 Hercules rounds the curve at Kimberley Park on 5 April 2014 with the 1D12 14:35 Wymondham Abbey to Dereham service, during the Mid Norfolk Railway's Diesel Gala. Although it's always nice to see a Class 50 working, and the finish is excellent, I was not one of those people who objected to 50007 being in green livery as Sir Edward Elgar. Non authentic it may have been, but it did look smart. To be pedantic, this isn't authentic either, as the loco is in refurbished condition (headlight, plated over sand fillers, etc). 50007 was never in this condition in BR blue livery, only 50001, 50006, 50013, 50017, 50019 & 50047 ever wore BR blue livery after refurbishment. |
