D1733 was painted by British Rail into experimental XP64 livery
in early 1964 to run with the XP64 Mark 2 Blue and Grey liveried
train set. In later days it was renumbered from 47141 to 47614.
In February 1990 the locomotive became 47853 later carrying
Intercity Swallow livery and in 1997 begin painted into Virgin
Cross Country In November 2001 it was repainted into XP64
turquoise-blue once again carrying the number D1733. This livery
was chosen by Rail Express magazine and was named 'RAIL
EXPRESS’ at Grosmont Station, North Yorkshire Moor Railway
on 27/04/02.
The locomotive was handed back to Porterbrook Leasing and
immediately sold to Riviera Trains in October 2002, retaining 'RAIL
EXPRESS’ nameplates.
The XP64 livery is
currently staying as the chosen livery for 47853, however the
