Johnson Street IEMD Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 On 14/01/2020 at 05:36, 298 said: If you can call it another livery variation, this is a very much patched up 90026 with overhauled bogies on a test run before repainting. Great clip 298 ... this is more of the same group of tired DB EWS 90s which have been in service but has included 90020 and 90039 but at last they will have new liveries as part of Grand Central. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Note: the yellow on the nose and under the number is a different shade to down the bottom of the body! On the final shot the yellow down the side looks almost Colas flourescent yellow, but in the earlier two shots it looks like a warmer yellow. Once we get one of these RTR that is clearly going to be a bone of contention amongst modellers when the production samples arrive. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a different shade though? the way it looks the same where the colours meet in the top two pics suggest it is the same colour, but is it perhaps the light or some reflectivity in the side colour to explain the bottom picture? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my PC there is definitely a change of colour in all three images behind the number. In the first two, the bodyside yellow is darker the cab, whereas in the bottom image its the other way round. The change seems to be too sharply defined to be a trick of the light. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM47079 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You have a sharp eye, I hadn’t noticed any yellow variation. I do recall a batch of 66s were delivered with a warning panel in a different shade of yellow to the rest of the cab end 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your pedantic the Bachman model of 90037 is only technically correct for about a year as the tdm cables were moved to be tidied away in the position on the sides rather than under the horn grille, and the buffers were changed and rubbing plate removed etc. I can supply dates of change if anyone is interested as that was when each loco was numbered as a 90/1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted January 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have to say I wasn't sure or keen on the orange and black G&W livery on the 66s but I think it looks and is suited better on the 90.

Steadfast Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The visible line between the side yellow stripe and the front yellow panel is either a weld or a fibreglass mould line.

Suspect the yellow side stipe might be reflective 'Scotch-Brite' rather than paint? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
