I just saw that today in Gloucester! When I get home I'll be sure to share the photos I took FYI, the engine is actually 45699 Galatea masquerading as Sierra Leone. It's also carrying on it's cabside the number 45562, which belonged to Alberta. It's like three Jubilees in one!
Cool! From what I know it's very well known for having people think it's what it's masquerading as what is. Because I remember someone think when Bahamas became Falkland Islands that it would like Galatea.
UOTE="TrainGeek08, post: 600504, member: 38296"]Can you try again as I'm sure I've made it public [/QUOTE] I'm getting the error also. Tried all three links.
As promised, here is 45699 GalaBertaLeone. I think it's ridiculous how they've given one engine two different numbers, neither of which actually belong to it. Silly naming aside, this now means the only Jubilee in preservation I haven't seen yet is 45593 Kolhapur.
With the news of Leicester/Nottingham/Derby coming in the future with the HST and 158, Here are some photos I took of those trains at Leicester
A friend of mine, which I met for Flight Simulator, has become a real airline pilot of a very known international Asian company. But after that I share my passion about trains with him, and now he is also a railfan, and it enjoys TSW3 too! So combining both issues, every time he arrives to a city with the airline, he spend some time about spotting trains. He is now in London, so I suggested him, to visit St. Pancras station, in order he can see the Javelin and the Eurostar. Furthermore I advise him King's Cross terminal is very close to that terminal station too, to check LNER trains. But something special happened: He asked about going to be on the platform at St. Pancras as a rail spotter. He received the OK. Being there, he see the train driver coming to one of the Javelin, and he asked to him, if he could visit the train cabin? The reply was OK!, So he shares some minutes with him, before the train departs. Please find attached some pictures he took today:

I think it travelled down the country from Birmingham or something like that. Will probably be making it's way back today.
If you're a Great Western fan like I am, then yesterday was a very special day. 7029 Clun Castle and 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe (fresh out of an overhaul) double headed a railtour from Tyseley down to Didcot Parkway to take part in a special 4 Castle lineup alongside the Didcot Railway Centre's own 4079 Pendennis Castle (also in steam) and 5051 Drysllwyn Castle. These kinds of events only happen once every decade or so, and I was very lucky to see it. Here are some photos from an amazing day I won't ever forget. From left to right the engines are Pendennis, Earl, Drysllwyn and Clun. The view from the embankment next to the coaling stage was breathtaking, as you can see. They turned both the mainline engines around on the turntable in readiness for the journey back to Birmingham. They also had 4079 there to look pretty for the cameras. Here's 5043 on the turntable after having been turned round, with 4079 just behind. And finally here's how the day started, with 7029 and 5043 arriving at Didcot Parkway having come down from Birmingham Snow Hill. 7029 lead the outbound journey, with 5043 being the pilot on the return working.
Nice catch! While on the topic of GWR I will be going to the Swindon Steam Museum on the 24th June for the ComicCon event.
Here's the next lot of photos from me: 20230304_112221 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_113731 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_121453 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_131926 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_140813 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_150404 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_151025 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_153047 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_153143 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM 20230304_153928 by TrainGeek08 posted Mar 5, 2023 at 2:32 PM

Let me see a real Class 395 cab key difference between that one and the game is that all the train protection systems are turned on unlike the game where you had to turn them on manually although there should be a mode that has it on just like real life
