A further publicity stunt saw 50029 done up with an England flag and renamed Roonown in June 2006 as a tribute to England's football World Cup hero Wayne Rooney. 50029 reverted to conventional guise after the tournament. Photo: Tim Snowball.

50029 Renown was externally restored as 50003 Temeraire on one side during 2005. The dirty secret was however that the other side was still... dirty, faded NSE 50029 as we hadn't got time to finish the job before the Peak Rail event that would unveil '29. A year later and the other side of 50029 is now externally restored, as seen on 11th September 2006. Photo: Andy Coward
