Maybe my informer is colour blind !
I've not seen a BR Green livery since the 60's so as I'm that way tomorrow I'll take a look.
Does anyone know a good vantage point for pics ?

You'll be seeing 47840 North Star in original two tone BR Green come May (and on the West Somerset thereafter).

Repaint at Loughborough in time for final mainline railtour from Derby to Minehead on Bank Holiday Monday May 28th. 45112 on the way back.

It 'll be good to see more Green Livery but it's the 'Peak' class that's particularly nostalgic with local memories.

the pic at :
http://simon71.fotopic.net/p39524773.html

was taken at the level crossing next to Horton Road shed.
But as you can see you can't get a particularly good shot of it.

However, from the other side its even worse as its private property with a tall fence.
