DELTIC MODELS REACH

LIVERY SAMPLING STAGE

 

We have now received images of the livery samples from Accurascale for the commissioned ‘Exclusive Edition’ models of Class 55 ‘Deltic’ locomotives. These are being produced in conjunction with Rails of Sheffield and The Deltic Preservation Society and feature preserved examples.

 

Locomotion Models versions represent the National Collections ‘Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry’ as follows.

 

D9002 ‘Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry’ in two tone green livery as currently preserved and running on the National Network (Era 9).

 

55002 ‘Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry’ in two tone green 1980 with full yellow ends as repainted for its final thirteen months in traffic before withdrawal on 31st December 1981. The repaint into its colours was paid for with the aid of a grant from the Friends of the National Railway Museum (Era 7).

 

Livery samples are currently en-route to us and will undergo a thorough evaluation process before being cleared for production.

 

The images shown here did not have buffers fitted at the time of photography.
