Rasendyll Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Slightly more than an alternate livery this one, and delving back into history a bit. In 1926, the LMS contemplated either borrowing the drawings for the GWR's Castle Class or ordering some directly from the GWR. In the event neither happened, but I have always wondered what the results (particularly the latter arrangement) might have looked like. Here we have my attempt to sketch an LMS Crimson Castle with Derby touches applied... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfsup Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Apologies for it not being photoshopped - I cant remember whether I've shared this one on here before too but here is one of my models. Strangely, while I've never been a fan of the 60s, I did see the fictitious liveries picture a few back and decided to give this a respray a go. Just awaiting the time to finish it off, but it'll be complete at some point next year! 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm81 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The 60's do look good in large logo blue, had my Hornby one since about May this year: 019 by rothburyuk, on Flickr Has been laserglazed since that photo was taken. I've also got another Hornby 60 in Railfreight Red Stripe with a legomanbiffo loksound chip in. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 eh?? 156s are going to be sub leased to TPE to cover some workings, no 158s involved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted January 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 16, 2015 Oh dear, this could be expensive. That large logo 60 looks fantastic. The 60 was just too modern for my layout, but a blue one would be fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarrettTheThief Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If RealTrack ever do a Class 180 or such a kit becomes available from other third-party manufacturers, I might paint it in Virgin Red/Black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owd Bob Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Back in the mid' 1980's i painted an old Airfix class 31 into large logo' livery. I don't think they ever did do it on the real class? Sorry for the bad pic' and dodgy modelling, back then detailing bits were'nt as available as nowadays.. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The 31 reminds me of the LIMA 87022 Cock of the North that they made available in large logo yet BR never did it! https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Lima-205155-Class-87-No-87022-Cock-O-The-North-in-Large-Logo-Livery/645835755 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmwsn Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Are there any pictures of the LMS diesel locomotives 10000 or 100001 in Railfreight triple grey or the GBRF livery. Would be interested to see those if that's possible? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still better modelling than some of us (I'm looking int the mirror here!) can manage these days! I don't think it looks too out of place, probably because they carried large logo grey, which was (obviously!) very similar apart from being grey instead of blue. Suits it quite well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just been wondering if anyone has done some re liveries onto the Azuma/IET trains. There are a few proper prototype versions now. Not got photoshop so can't do so myself Couple of ideas Classic Blue Pullman - as don't need yellow ends now Perhaps also reverse grey blue HST style blue grey Intercity NSE Classic LNER garter blue or apple green cabs with teak stock LMS maroon GWR chocolate & cream stock with green cabs SR malachite green Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theavgasdinosaur Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Caledonian blue would also be outstanding. Be lucky David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about LNER green/cream or two tone grey (so called silver stock!) or GWR choc/cream carried through to the front? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard 5374 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Not the greatest job, but I wanted to see how Colas livery would look on the HST power cars currently being used. I know others have adapted the livery but I wanted to try and keep it true to company application.
