Is that actually a blue Tara, or a red Tara with blue graffiti?
It's the lid that is throwing me off. It's definitely not a G1 lid, and the G2 lid change and red repainting probably happened at the same time.

They'll work out at a nice price per signal with that charge on top!

I really hope they don't electrify all lines here - I hate the look of overhead wires, and you can't pretend you are 'back in the day' when there are overhead wires above a steam loco for example!
