RMweb Premium Gary H Posted June 2, 2014 RMweb Premium 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. I cant help but feel a little disappointment that General Electric didn't take a leaf out of the 'Brush book' of locomotive design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted June 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2014 Really don't. Like the Colas livery. It just looks cheap to me with two fairly hideous dayglo colours. However having said that , of all the locks so far prob the 60 looks best in the livery. Completely incongruous on the 86 though. Thanks for the links, without which I would have missed another development on the railway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfsup 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. I Completely agree with you on this, probably the best livery the 60s have ever carried, although I just as an aside wish they'd fit the newer generation LED WIPACs to the 60s - just that little touch would make it 087 look like a brand new loco. Is it me too, or does the Colas Livery look best on the 47s and 60s - Like Direct Rail Services livery, it just looks smarter on slab sided locos with no interruptions - unlike 37219.

balders Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yep, it was there this morning, on one end of a rake of the old FGW car carriers, with 47727 on the other end against the stops of the siding opposite platform 4. Got some photo's, but not brilliant of the 60.. It looks very nice, but wasn't in a very photogenic position........... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be even quicker then once the 86 gets on it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2014 whether i get to learn it is another question, if the scotland trail mentioned in micks link did run it would be through "my patch" and i'm perfectly placed to relieve the driver who brings it up from london and take it to carlisle and vice versa saying that i've got enough other things to be getting on with before i think of getting anywhere near a 'leccy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Jim, have you mentioned to your bosses that there is a class 45 lying idle on the Battlefield line, if you're still short of traction might be worth asking the owners if they want to part with it. I know it might be difficult for them to see their lovingly tendered locomotive go but they might be tempted to pay Colas some money to take it away.
