LMS red 8f

Is this the first red LMS locomotive on the CVR, I know there was a Jinty in red but I don't think it ran here, anyone know differently. Thomas.

Can't answer that one myself Thomas, but I hope we are going to paint the 8F a 'natural' black while it's here!

Just doesn't look right in red.

Although it is very welcome. A lovely loco and more representative of past on the CVR than the more recent locos we have had.

I went over to Leekbrook today to 'welcome' the 8F on it's runaround there.

Here are some pics.
