That's cool Steve,I was reading Scotrail has a fair few Class 43's HST sets up there that have been renovated & put into service in Scotrail colours.
I've been bombarding TSW3 to get a Class 91 electric locomotive in LNER colours & any stretch of the ECML.
They reckon there's all sorts of licencing problems to overcome
