In June 2010, First Great Western repainted FGW fag packet green with gold stripe liveried 57604 formerly 47209 and named 'Pendennis Castle', into the famous First Great Western Brunswick Green, as carried by many celebrity locos including four class '47s' no. 47079, 47484, 47500 and 47628 (as part of the GWR 150 celebrations) and 50007 which was as painted into the livery at Laira depot in February 1984. On the 3rd July 2010, having recently been outshopped and unveiled in its new colours at the Didcot Railway Centre following its repaint at Brush Loughborough, the loco glides through Trerulefoot on the 3rd July 2010 with the 1C99 London Paddington to Penzance sleeper.
