Preservation News (2004) D1516 GENERATOR LIFT - 31st OCTOBER 2004

generator and turbocharger were lifted out for overhaul at Swanwick

the 47417 Gallery Page (scroll down to the appropriate date).
30th SEPTEMBER 2004 - STANDARD BLUE WINS 47401 LIVERY BALLOT
Voting
closed today in the 47401 Project shareholders livery ballot. Much like
the last time we had 401 painted it was a two horse race between
standard blue and large logo blue with a mere sprinkling of votes for
green livery. The full results were as follows (one vote per share):-
So,
after ten years in preservation carrying large logo livery (twice as
long as it carried it in BR service) 47401 will be returning to the
livery which it carried for the longest time. We don't intend to carry
out a repaint immediately so there is still chance to photograph the
loco in its present livery, most likely we will advertise a "large logo
farewell" running day in due course, so watch this space!
