19th March - Multimodal arrives
Christmas 2020 for Johnson Street was one which would see the arrival of two more DB Cargo Class 90s. They would both be red and would hopefully add to the variety of DB liveries that will litter Johnson Street.
It was always envisaged that their arrival would be in the early part of 2021, this further delayed by a few decalling issues, availability and then the emergence of the Glider decals for 90037, which ironically was the one loco I didnt want DB to relivery.
90037 was, after all, branded DB to start with and although an unusual livery on the 90, alot more common in 66 form, the removal of EWS branding and opposite cabside logos and nose logos makes for a subtle cosmetic change to the EWS form. This is also seen on the Class 60, 60 065, Spirit of Jaguar which is regularly used as a shunting loco primarily at Toton but is also used on training runs.
Soooo having reliveried my favourite DB90 after Malcolm and DB Blue, I was seriously tempted to postpone Multimodal's arrival in place for Christine. As fate would have it, complications with the glider decals meant that it was going to have to be tackled at a later stage. These were originally created by rainbow railways and printed onto the loco Bodyshell - it may be that I opt to source one of their own Christine examples as per their earlier creation, the Malcolm Rail 90, 90024.
With 90019 and 90036 being the two arrivals a last bit of snagging was undertaken and with Jack eager to return to the Midlands, it was Multimodal who followed up light engine.
Thank you to Ben at Bensresprays @cambo74 for his patience on this project.
