Calling All Stations 
Thank you for linking to my Deltic post. Your blog looks really interesting, so I’ve followed. 🙂
No problem! Thanks for following 🙂
Grand Central did use a pair of class 67’s when launched due to problems with their class 43’s. These were leased from EWS but not repainted. The photo is a mock up.
I had read they leased a few in the early days due to problems (at some point with all) their HST sets, but I’m glad someone could second that this was photo-shopped! Shame, it’s a rather smart livery for the 67’s!
