I’ve seen a picture of 901 nearing completion today (not mine to share unfortunately!). Looking very smart. Not the first time there has been one in these colours though. Hopefully they will head back up north at a reasonable time of day so I can see the end result in person.

Very nice, what are they likely going to be used for?

Reportedly going to be traction for Balfour Beatty's drain cleaning train, which is based at Rutherglen. This has previously used a pair of redundant dynamic track stabilisers as motive power.
