I wonder whose decals they are? I was just saying to a dickiebird that I loved 90037 the way it was in EX-EWS DB but how great a livery it is in new DB Cargo. It's a shame the same cant be said for 90039. Kat@johnsonstreetIEMD Edited January 29, 2021 by DBC90024 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked really smart in that livery My guess would be a RES one is the next natural development from Bachmann. Probably with a regular DB version and perhaps an odd ball like a general release SNCF version. Edited January 29, 2021 by adb968008 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Mark Hi Mark @MRDBLUE17, I couldnt help but notice you're busy doing a number of DB 90s, i didnt see them at first, as I was too busy checking out these incredible decals on 90037. I will look forward to seeing them should you showcase them. May I ask where you sourced your decals from for 90037 ? my loco reliverier Ben @cambo74 has two of my 90s sat in DB paint awaiting decals and one of them was all set to be 90019 but if we could get the decals for 90037, 90019 would be put on hold, please can you advise, kind regards, Kat@johnsonstreetIEMD.

'CHARD Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Unless I have overlooked something, and the real thing has been changed subsequently, the number font/ typeface is different on the model of 90037 to the prototype? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a few RTR DB locos that haven't used the distinctive DB numbering typeface either. Other than 59206, 37419 / 670 and 66152, which use Gill Sans and were the first red repaints, everything else painted red has the DB standard numbering font.

Jo Is it a standard font or a DB bespoke one do you know? I’ve always thought it looks like the numbers people stick on their wheely bins! So wondered if someone at Toton just pops down to B&Q every time they do a repaint?! Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case, someone at Toton would need their head looking at if they were paying B&Q prices for bin stickers.

I do my decals by tracing it as I've not found a font to match. Lots of non DB stuff repainted at Toton by DB has them too, including DCR 60s and the TFW 67s.

DBC is worn by 90019, 90028 and 90035 with 90037 wearing the Glider DB livery also red. Kat @johnsonstreetIEMD :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kat, they’re a mix of customers and a couple of ones I picked myself to do, I had wanted to do 037 with the gliders which was covered so well on this thread but the DB red will get a different identity. Apart from the red I’ve pics of all of these at Ipswich and as for Barbie that would be nice..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay good good Jerry, I thought they were all looking great and it just tickled me that they are all now DB 90s albeit they're all from different moments in time I look forward to seeing what happens with your DB and EWS ones Kat :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hi everyone, The futures bright the futures orange! This week has seen a batch of these pass through for rebuilding for Rainbow Railways. They are stripped and resprayed before the livery elements get printed on like the glider livery. Etched name plates still need added. Thanks Mark 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That printing on the 90's you posted is really impressive and for things like the freightliner stripes is the way to go! Cheers Jerry 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
