Last of the blue
D2 604 was amidst a repaint during the Newport 'Shine a light' event. The far side, had already been painted into a standard black livery.
The red that it still bares however, represents an interesting perspective of what was believed to have been VR 'Canadian Red'. This was believed to be comprised of Blue lining at the time it was repainted.
Whilst a 'Chocolate' colour has been adopted on more recent locomotives, the D2 still bares the older colours on one side.
