The purple steam locomotive at Bridgnorth last year during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations
The loco 34027 Taw Valley was the chosen recipient with its number changed to 70 and traditional name replaced with Elizabeth II after a public vote. It has now been wheeled out in black and carrying yet another number - this time 21C127 - with its Taw Valley nameplates put back in place and 'SOUTHERN' written in yellow on the tender that formerly had the Platinum Jubilee crest.Unveiling the colour scheme on the railway's Facebook page, SVR said:"NEW NUMBER, NEW LIVERY.
The livery is not authentic to Taw Valley as it only ran in dark green in the condition it's seen in now. The black livery was used by the Southern Railway, the company that built the express passenger engine, during the Second World War which ended a year before the loco was completed.When Taw Valley was finished in Brighton in 1946 it did carry the number 21C127, but was painted bright green with yellow lines, and was built with smooth casing along its sides.
