Llywelyn was given a lined blue livery in 1978, but this only lasted three years before the decision was made to apply 'historical' liveries to all VoR locos. This saw No. 8 appearing in GWR plain green in 1981. Apart from the GWR roundel on the cab side it was very plain indeed and, for best effect, needed to be seen coupled to a rake of chocolate and cream coaches, as here drifting down the valley at Capel Bangor in April 1983 with the 16.45 from Devil's Bridge.
