tomstaf Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think the coloured version looks much better than the earlier one Jo. The font looks a bit underwhelming on the wnxx pic. Fancy suggesting they get some slightly larger and more bold transfers Jim Cheers Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 When the deal was first announced I wasn't sure about how the livery would look on a 60 but after seeing the photo of 087 I do really like it. Very nice Colas. Oh and thank you for returning more of the Brush beasts back to full working order. Lovely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have the paint and loco. All I need is the time and transfers. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie_pudd Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 087 just looks mint and I would personally say that it makes the CL60 look an even newer model then the CL70`s I like all three plaque designs but keeping the CO Logo probably the best route and once trial fitted to a loco may not look that busy I the end, only way is to do mock ups of all 3 types and try them on a loco & see which works best. I have the paint and loco. All I need is the time and transfers.Cheers,Mick Just after the loggers then Mick (maybe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gismorail Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Its good to see that the 60's are to be retained for further work but sorry folks that livery just doesn't look right .my personal option of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2014 I must admit when i first saw the pics of 087 i was a bit sceptical as to whether someone had photoshopped it given how quick it has been since its test run to being painted however having just seen the loco in the flesh it looks the absolute danglies and is very real!!

Steadfast Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 How long before it sneaks onto 6V46/6M50 then, eh Jim? ;-) It would be lovely to get regular 60s round here but I know the 70s will probably stay on the NDS stuff jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2014 087 is out and about on monday, toton-barrow hill-washwood heath-rugby-crewe! What a week for me to take annual leave again, 70 to be moved, 60s to be trained on and 37s breaking cover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXEA! Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 All these new toys for Colas! Four 37's, three 47's, seven 56's, five 60's (initially), five 66's, twenty 70's (eventually), and now 86701 from Barrow Hill! Colas are growing at one hell of a rate, it's reassuring to see such growth in todays economic climate, and long may it continue. Even stranger to think that when they first started they had just the 3 Duff's! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It looks nice and modern, although those large blocks of colour aren't very flattering ( rounded design I doubt ). I'm surprised to say I don't think it needs any retro shed plates or mountain themed plates TBH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 1, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2014 I like I like I like thought you would have had one painted up ready for DEMU Mick lol Too busy with the KFA rake, but we did have a guest appearance of 60087 from Cairns Road....... TBH, I fancy doing another Colas 60 rather than 60087 - I think 60021 is next but still awaiting confirmation. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 A couple of very clear pics of 60087 60087 and again Cheers, Mick I think it looks good but I think it would be better if the recessed part on the front between the headlights was painted black, like on the original Railfreight livery.

Wild Boar Fell Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think the Colas livery really helps show how modern in appearance the 60's are, I think 087 looks superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
