Mallard and the A4s 60019 Bittern, Spring 2011. A rumour surfaced suggesting Bittern was to be repainted in garter blue as long-lost sister 4492 Dominion of New Zealand. Was it an April Fool? No. Here are a selection of shots of the gorgeous Bittern/DONZ taken on Wednesday 20th April 2011 at the NRM, York. Additionally there are images from the NRM and Middleton Railway Centre, Leeds.
