'CHARD Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 No marks to the nameplate supplier, that has not centred the text vertically and has instead squashed everything up against the top edge of the 'plate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I really like the red livery. It really suits modern traction. Far nicer then EWS maroon or the garish DRS livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own but I think EWS brought out the lines in the 67 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 It's proving hard to improve on the original Biffa on these to be honest link here: class 67 prototype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 No marks to the nameplate supplier, that has not centred the text vertically and has instead squashed everything up against the top edge of the 'plate. That is the standard format, with lower case letters such as " a c e " etc. centered to leave space above for capitals and taller ones, and space below for " g j p q y ". If the plate has none of the latter, the rest do look too high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I thought that as I typed it actually, it is the convention, as you say - but stylistically much better to slightly bend the rules when you get one looking like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon_R Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 You wouldn't believe how difficult it was doing the graphics to make them be in proportion when stuck to the undulating sides of the skip! I saw this livery in December as a mock-up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
