NoelG Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've seen photos and video clips of orange and ivory bubbles in mixed rakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnfromoz Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Yes thanks Noel, so have I. Was just trying to establish if an orange one lasted till the start of IR branding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelG Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Yes thanks Noel, so have I. Was just trying to establish if an orange one lasted till the start of IR branding. Â Â I can't find them now, but I'm almost certain I have seen a few youtube clips of an IR broken points 'tippex' livery loco hauling a rake with mixed ivory and orange cement wagons.

Johnfromoz Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thanks Noel, very interesting. It broadens my traction roster for these wagons as half of my MM GMs are in the IR livery. Love your efforts in weathering the wagons by the way, just as I remember them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrington Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Pretty sure no orange bubbles would have existed by 1987 when IR came into existence. By 1983, approx 60% of the bubbles had been repainted in the ivory livery. I think CIE only started repainting the orange bubbles into ivory around 1980.

Paul the painter Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi all this is my first msg, thought I'd have a go at attacking some bubbles, maskol worked well for those peeling effects, plus the usual powders and airbtush, built the patches up using various grey acrylics plus the odd repair patch from the wagon works!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
