Livery: previously recorded here as "GWR Brunswick green", which cannot be correct for a 1967-built BR diesel. The documented preservation repaint is BR large logo blue with a black roof, applied by the Renown Repulse Restoration Group after the locomotive reached Rowsley in 2002. Not re-confirmed since; treat the livery as unverified.
