87019 - Black

19th January 2004

87019 in its "LNWR Blueberry Black"(?) livery and ACORP nameplates. Another pointless PR exercise thanks to Virgin/Ned News denaming Sir Winston during the 40th anniversary of his death... We did request that the Acorp engine worked an Acorp train - St Albans branch with a North Berwich set - but it didn't happen (!)

A short spell with GB for van traffic then in the first convoy to Bulgaria, exported December 12/06.

We want Winston back! The new look 87019 heads south at Old Linslade after naming at Crewe 150305.
