Trevor Camp from the Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Trust has sent a photo of steam locomotive 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley at Crewe undergoing a steam test.
It is the first time since the locomotive returned to steam last year, at the Severn Valley Railway Spring Steam Gala, that the locomotive has been in steam in its BR Express Blue livery.
The livery choice was voted for by Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Trust Members and was completed at Locomotive Services Group in Crewe.
It is now expected that 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley will be ready for the move to the Nene Valley Railway, which is expected to take place on the 5th April. (See our Mainline Steam page / RailAdvent Plus for the latest notifications).

As much as I love BR Express Blue, I wish she was back in LNER Garter Blue.
The best livery for a A4!
I am delighted that it’s back in blue
