Royal Britannia

Since acquiring the Hornby Diamond Jubilee Train Pack recently, it has meant that there is now an addition to our ever-growing fleet of steam locomotives, namely BR Standard Class 7 4-6-2 'Britannia' NÂș 70000.
She has a white cab roof to signify that she is on Royal Duties but, rather than repaint her, we will probably use her, with a white roof, for the occasional non-Royal' special.
I am sure Her Royal Highness will not mind!
At the moment the loco is DC only but that will be rectified in due course.
In the above photo the loco is seen, looking suitably immaculate, at the head of the Royal Train.
