[richard37670]

Hello everyone i was wondering if anyone could help me out here i no on the mainline livery class 37/4 the bottom colour was Executive Light Grey. when the class 37416 was in cornwall in the late 90 the bottom colour seamed to be the same as the railfreight grey colour i wasn't sure if anyone can confirm if that is the case?

hi richard 37670. it is listed in 1996 as in (M) mainline in old inter city but without yellow cabsides. in 1997 it's in (EWS) maroon ews lettering with gold band between the cab's.

There were two very similar liveries applied to class 37's -

 

Mainline - where the lower stripe was Executive Light Grey (as you correctly identified) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/5759840340/in/photostream/

Intercity - where the lower stripe was Silver white - http://www.flickr.com/photos/11928221@N04/4315053431

 

I think the shot of 37416 at Bodmin Road shows the rather creamy colour of the lower stripe versus the white stripe of 37251.

 

None of the Triple Grey livery colours were used on the Mainline livery; they were all different (excluding roof colours)
