Looks fake to me. For a start it seems to be on a preserved railway.

I've a funny feeling its at Bodmin General on the Bodmin and Wenford Railway, but I'm not 100% sure.

Take off all the pink and put the loco in a more FGW environment and it might warrant a second glance as a stand in for the out of service 57 fleet.

Haven't you heard? FGW are hiring in 50008, 50026, 50042, 50044 and others for Summer Saturday services to Paignton and Newquay where the run round loop is being reinstated. Oh and you know 50017 that's recently been bought, yep FGW have bought it! Also heritage DMUs are being hired from Llangollen for branch line services with 25s being rescue engines.

Oh yeah, and Falcon is being rebuilt in a top secret shed somewhere to work Bristol - London Paddington commuter trains.
