(29 Jun 2018, 12:55 pm)RBZ 5459 Glad they had the silver paint out for it's front too. Judging by the placement of the GNE sticker, is it perhaps going straight to Hexham rather than waiting for the Tynedale Links branding? - or is that just a sticker error till the branding lands?
Placement of the GNE vinyl means nothing really - they tend to be dotted about on the front of a Solo depending on who has done it, until the external agency comes in and follows the drawings.
Original plan was for the Pelaw-based company to come and apply the vinyls to both 723 and 5386 on the same day, returning for 6099 the next, but 723 has indeed gone straight to Hexham (arriving earlier today). Should stilll be branded before entering service (hopefully) - just allows Hexham to get a head start on the inspection.
