VoR Garratt Drakensberg 2022 4K

When I visited the Vale of Rheidol Railway in 2017 they had just taken delivery of a NGG13 Garratt locomotive, after a major overhaul now in 2022 No. 60 has joined the railway's working loco roster and we were lucky enough to catch it in operation for its last few days of the 2022 season. Take a trip along the line with No. 60 where we also see GWR 2-6-2 No.8 and small quarry Hunslet "Margaret" in action. Photographed in 4K with a Canon XF 400 and Rode stereo mike X with aerial shots from the Mavic Pro.

i know it wouldnt be prototypical but it could do with painting green in the future to blend in better.Maybe name it samson or collosus like a western region class 47 with cast plates?

[@MrRnipperBrockleBroadcasting]

I guess it depends how you define “prototypical” given that this is the first time a loco of this class has even run on the VoR. I imagine that the thinking is that it’s named “Dragon mountain” so painted in red as per the Welsh flag dragon, but I could see lined Brunswick green working, or Caledonian black, not sure about rail blue though🤠
