great video there johnPW22 because I like the way that two Britannia's met each other for the first time since the end of steam traction of the 1960s mate
Hi Thomas. The nameplate on the front is the train name not the loco name, so it gets removed at the end of the journey. The 023 is an old style train number identifier, in use before the current four character codes came in which happened in the early 1960s. Probably added for a bit of nostalgia!

The three of them Britannia class are 70000 Britannia 70013 Oliver Cromwell and 71000 duke of gloster
Duke of Gloucester isn't a Britiannia class, she's a BR Standard 8 Class
Oliver Cromwell the reason I love steam. A footplate ride at Bressingham steam museum aged 3 and I have loved steam ever since.
Mann, Britannia 70000 came in so silently and smoothly. (when I said silently I meant without puff puff puff.)
That takes great driving skill - to coast precisely to a stop!
wow!
Brilliant ,what a sight 7ool3.
Many thanks Tony, glad you liked it.
Maravilhoso esse lugar
Oliver seems to be in a better mood!
Thank-you very much! You are welcome!

Nice video:)
Nice photography. Did the driver sell the Torbay Express sign.?
I don't think the driver even owns the sign.
Thank-you very much sir! Oh.... you mean the engines... not my video work :-( !! Glad you liked it anyway!

2:00 Why are they changing or removing nameplates on the engine and could someone please explain the big white 023 number?
