I'd forgotten about the 'private railways'.  I think it is only a
requirement of locomotives operating on the national rail network to have
yellow fronts.  That said, steam engines and heritage stock must be exempt.
Anyway, I hope someone builds some British trains soon!  Actually I'm very
surprised that no-one hasn't built a class 37 or 47 as they're very Lego
friendly shapes.  Or a 126 because they just look great.  I recall someone
built a Virgin West Coast DVT (Driving Van Trailer) but I can't find that
again.

I think it may actually be legal requirement for all locomotives to have
yellow noses here in Britain.  I can recall no modern locomotive that • does
not have a bright yellow nose, but then again, I'm almost certain to • proved
wrong :).

For anyone creating modern British trains, a yellow nose is compulsory!

Sure!  I can think of a few....like (most) of the steamers...although, not • all.
Some of the Sentinels operated by the foundry (??? name forgets me, but • Ronald
(sp) was one of them...) had yellow/black buffer beams, that was about 83.
