Hi Mags,

I know the polychrome ones aren't to Marco's taste but in my recent trip I noticed that several seemed to have been repainted ready for the centenary, like this one at Lissey:Attachment IMG_2986 (449 x 600).jpg

I haven't actually heard anyone say that, but that's the impression I'm getting, if I hear anything or read anything I will post the info.
