ex-BR 60800 "Green Arrow"
Title:  ex-BR 60800 "Green Arrow"
Description:  I used to help maintain "Green Arrow" at the (British) National Railway Museum in York, and this was the first run when I was one of the people who helped prepare it, so it was a moment of pride. It was preparing for a run to Scarborough, so I rode the train out and back and took a lot of photos, including this one. I wasn't qualified to actually work the run, as the regulations in Britain are pretty strict on that. Note that it's painted in BR Brunswick Green, and carrying its BR number, 60800. It has since, from what I've heard, been repainted back to its proper LNER colours (please somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this!).

ex-BR 60800 (ex-LNER 4771, ex-LNER 800) "Green Arrow" On Scarborough Bridge
Title:  ex-BR 60800 (ex-LNER 4771, ex-LNER 800) "Green Arrow" On Scarborough Bridge
Description:  Here's a shot that I actually planned in advance, knowing that "Green Arrow" was working the Scarborough Express on the day in question. The yellow tint to everything is from the sun.
