SimonBoulton Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Roco are releasing this loco as a new item this year. Am curious if the livery is one that the class carried in era 4 or if it is heritage style colour scheme only. I know the earlier variants of the T478 (the Bardotka) had a similar livery but not sure it was carried by the Goggles. Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hawkins Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Hi Simon, A quick google search came up trumps, plenty showing T478.3109 in this livery, i have this model on order and hoping Santa will get his finger out in time for Xmas.

SimonBoulton Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 I Brian, many thanks for your reply. It's a very nice looking loco. What was the earliest date you managed to find a pic from? There are certainly many pics of it but think the earliest I found was 2010, so would suggest it's a kind of nostalgia livery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hawkins Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Simon, i'm under the impression that T478.3109 is indeed a nostalgic loco, it now carries the number 753 109 there are some videos available on Youtube that is worth a look, when you get time.

SimonBoulton Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Cheers Brian, was hoping I might have been able to use it for the 1980’s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1023 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I considered ordering this loco but in the end decided to wait until they release a 754 in this livery. Whilst the model is of its current state as a museum loco. It did run in ZSR service in this livery from circa 2000 until withdrawal c.2005. The earliest pic I can find is here https://www.k-report.net/ukazobrazek.php?soubor=604314.jpg&stranka=1 It looks like ZSR used this livery on a few other 753's and then later on some 754's in era's V & VI but I cant find any evidence of this livery on used 'Goggles' prior to 2000.
