Seems absurd to me (probably me being ignorant) that Colas got the contract for this and put 56s on it after DRS had been using brand new bi modes for it.

Some Flickr links: From the Dapol artwork it appears 001 is the only one without the stickers. Thanks, Jack, Thanks for sharing the photos. The only other differences I have spotted so far, at least on 88003, are the inclusion of a CCTV warning graphic (in white) at the bottom of the cab door on the number 1 end (below lower handle), and a green graphic between the loco number and what I assume is the cover for the sandbox.

Is there an N gauge version planned ? No plans at present, I'm afraid. With the Cost of Living Crisis affecting sales, times are hard across the industry. Where before we might have released one in N automatically, now it is very much a case of seeing how the OO sales go first. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adam1701D Posted January 17 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17 Still waiting for them, I'm afraid. I am experiencing a mixture of excitement and dread about these. Has to have been the most difficult livery I have done, with the multiple levels of shading and patterns, not to mention the numerous warning stickers. It's going to be a stunning loco. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having done a little bit of work with graphics in the past, I can fully appreciate the level of complexity of what you are designing and how demanding it is, especially when trying to scale 88010's livery down to 1/76th scale! I don't doubt that it will be beautifully recreated and it will look lovely on a layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
