Class 50 'Sir Edward Elgar'.
No 50007 Sir Edward Elgar had an unusual livery applied when unveiled at Paddington on the 25th February 1984, to mark the 50th anniversary of the composers death, that of Great Western lined green with cast brass GWR badge, nameplate, number plate and double arrow logos applied under the non-driving side cab window.
I have to say if only BR had done more of these types of liveries at the time it would really have given this otherwise dull and boring livery era a real splash of nostalgiic colour.
My MOC has a 9volt motor fitted and seems to run well if a little temperamental over points. The grills I would have prefer to be in Earth green to match the body colour but I'm unable to source them.... how I miss Bluebrixx.
