Newton Abbot Comparisons
Clive Smith

A couple of shots of 43002 in the sunshine at Newton Abbot on the 11th April 2019.. The first picture is of the old and the new with 43002 on platform 3 with the 12.55 Plymouth - Paddington as an IET leaves platform 2 with the 10.33 Paddington - Paignton. The second picture shows 43002 side on. What a stunning outline for a train. Maybe now after 40 years we can appreciate this original livery as a design classic. I can't think of many liveries that can hold a candle to it. This power car is going to make a fine addition to the National Railway Museum in York.
           Regards,  Clive Smith.           
Many thanks Clive.
