45149 Hailes Abbey
Judging by the number of heads leaning out of the windows on the 1444 Laverton to Cheltenham Racecource the preservation début of 45149 was a popular feature of the 2013 GWR diesel gala. The Peak had been restored by the Cotswold Mainline Diesel Group, and was made serviceable just in time for the event, although as can be seen by the rather unusual shade of blue, only the undercoat was completed in time.
