87001 was originally named Stephenson from new until 1977 when it was re-named Royal Scot, the Stephenson name was then applied to the new 87101 which was different from the rest of the class in having thyristor control, when 87101 was scrapped in 2003 87001 was given its old Stephenson name back and then in 2005 when it was preserved at the NRM it was given both names. Keep up the good work.
I think 87035 should have had that same grey roof instead of white. We need some bread and butter versions next BR blue late 1970s then executive livery in the early 80s......
Subscribed.... great video and what a lovely model that BR Blue Class 87 is.
