I can't decide if the white cabs bring anything to the party . Maybe Western Sand livery next ? Or Electric Blue with the white cabs ? Inspired I think . These liveries certainly creating talking points and goodwill to GB Railfreight 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things with no horn grilles and massive extra side grilles look awful I'll be honest I hate the things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things with no horn grilles and massive extra side grilles look awful I'll be honest I hate the things It is a shame they haven't resurrected all of the classic grid liveries for the 69s, some however aren't possible. Certain ones cannot be used because another operator still owns the IPR for them (Load Haul and Mainline Freight for example) whilst others are commercially impractical. I think 004 in the research livery is about the best of the bunch but it was brilliant what they did with 007, reuniting it with its original 56 name and livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco had been moved to East Yard. Had to sit on the car roof in the rain to get a shot over the very high fence at the adjacent housing estate…. John Such a shame they’ve applied the BR roundel so low!! The name and number plates look spot on - the BR symbol should be in line or thereabouts - certainly higher than that ‘droopy drawers’ application (you need the Design Panel reconvening to look these details over 😀🤣). Otherwise it’s brilliant 👍 Edited February 24 by MidlandRed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
