To hard to make a decision without seeing all the coach painted. Is it just me or does it look like the black from the original livery is showing through behind the green paint as it looks a bit darker in that area. I wonder why the bogie is also painted grey. Cheers for the pic Richie.

Rich,

 

Nah thats just a different darker shade of the green. The carriage has actually 4 different shades of green on each end (thats why theres numbers next to them. The bogie is probably painted just so they can see how it would look with the green :-)

A few pics of the mark3s left in Waterford.

Rich i think your right about the test livery on the mk3s

 

Excellent pics Tom. I would urge anybody with a camera and some spare time to try and get as many shots of the coaches before they are scrapped like Tom has done. Otherwise it will be a bit like some of us trying to explain what LP's are to our kids.

To be honest and I stand to be corrected, I think the areas where the green is getting lighter is where the flat sides of the coach are starting to curve towards the roof and chassis.

Why have they printed the no. 4 on top of the primer coat beside it? Is there 4 samples? Are the other 3 corners painted differently?

Rich,

 

I think you're right Rich, you can see the white stripes showing through as well.
