D444 in Green!

The Fifty Fund committee are always keen on innovative projects that keep the organisation in the lime light. Publicity is essential to the long term aims of The Fund, as publicity leads to more members and just as importantly more opportunities to earn money to help pay the running costs of our three locomotives. So when a shareholder and working member came forward with an idea to paint D444 into two-tone green the committee gave the idea serious thought. In the end, knowing that not everyone would like the non-prototypical livery it was agreed that '44 should be repainted, but only for a short period. SO enjoy it while it lasts!

So here it is D444 in green as she might have carried it, if she had been built only a few years earlier. The location is Old Oak Common turn-table.
