European Railroad Discussion > Class 91 110 David Livingstone

Reading the recent post below about 91101 Flying Scotsman got me all nostalgic for my trip to Great Britain in 2003. One of the highlights of that visit was a pre-arranged footplate ride from York to Newcastle and return courtesy of the late, great GNER.

In reviewing the photos from that trip, I got several good shots of the DVT we rode on the return portion but only a couple of marginal shots of my ride up to Newcastle, 91110 David Livingstone. Would any of you fine folks have a clean shot of her (him?) in the 2003-era GNER livery you could share, or point me in the direction of one online?

I see in the course of web surfing that Virgin has since wrapped 91110 in a commemorative livery and renamed her Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight. This livery predominates the web searches for 91110 but I have found one shot on Railpictures.net in GNER colors but in push mode.

On a related note for the modelers: A few years back I purchased one of the HO/OO Hornby 225 Mallard sets in GNER livery but with my luck I did not know that David Livingstone was one of the sets offered and of course got a set lettered for Scottish Enterprise. Is it worth trying to locate decals or dry transfers to reletter mine (are there even such things?) or just put that effort into locating a 91110 set online and selling my original set?

Many thanks for whatever direction you can provide,

NZ

Hi - a good search engine is to go through flickr.  I can't find any pic of mine in GNER livery (plenty in Battle of Britain colors), but
here's a starting point
