Ron Ron Ron Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 70099 landed this morning freightliner green sans vinyls details and tonights ? times wnxx I may be wrong, but I believe that green livery is the one this loco originally left the factory with as a demonstrator, back in February 2011. AFAIA it wasn't intended to come to the UK originally and is here to replace 70012. Is it the same shade of green as the Freightliner base colour? It looks to be a darker colour from all the photos I've seen? . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 At last - a sensible livery for a change. Shame our numbering specialist had eleven pints before he applied 7009 9 to the front though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 17, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2012 Latest RUMOUR to resurface is that it's a demonstrator for GBRf. (Although FL completed the acceptance paperwork for 099) Cheers, Mick p.s. any chance of a photoshopped 70 in Europorte livery - or should I just imagine something similar to the pair of 20's?

Steadfast Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 At last - a sensible livery for a change. Shame our numbering specialist had eleven pints before he applied 7009 9 to the front though. Got a feeling there's a panel join there. Still they could've done the triple grey thing and just done 099. In fact, why not paint it in a nice, neutral demonstrator livery. How about triple grey....hahaha Latest RUMOUR to resurface is that it's a demonstrator for GBRf. (Although FL completed the acceptance paperwork for 099) Cheers, Mick p.s. any chance of a photoshopped 70 in Europorte livery - or should I just imagine something similar to the pair of 20's? If it turns out to be quite quick in photoshop tomorrow before work then maybe... jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
