  1. There's a good picture of one in that livery as part of a great feature about the BR Thumpers in this month's Traction mag.
  2. Sadly I'll be stuffing my face with Easter eggs but I'm sure a pic will come up somewhere!
  3. Now that sounds a good idea. Even the bachmann chassis is a good starting point.
  4. I understand that Rich but I can't see myself paying 300 quid for a loco if the production is shifted back to the UK. I think one of the spokespeople for one of the British outline companies (possibly Dave Jones) has gone on record to say that would be the cost of a loco if made in the UK
  5. They've also brought or are bringing humbrol paint back to the UK too. I'm not sure if it would make economic sense to bring their more expensive items like train production back to the UK any time soon. Mind you if it cuts out some of the mistakes that have been made recently ( GWR suburban coaches with B4 bogies) I'm sure it would be welcome by some.
  6. you just can't beat SP tunnel motors!!!
  7. Pic from Marks this evening showing the colour shade differences between as delivered and Supertrain

    Really? That's going to take some getting used to! Will they get normal numbers as well or will it be UICs only?

    Agreed, once it has the grab irons on and it's a sunny day with suitable weathering I think it'll look good. I'm just glad they're still getting overhauls.

    I agree, UIC numbers are pointless here.

  14. I love Kate Bush and the Kick Inside is a great album. Lana Del Rey sounds she's constantly going through her period to me though, nothing but torture in her voice. So Kraftwerk are playing in Marley Park come summer. Anyone going? A bit of Prince getting me through work this morning. Behind the pop glitter of the 80s he was a fantastic funk artist.
  15. those F units look great in VIA colours.
  16. And a pic of 217
  17. My video from the Howth branch on the 25th. I got sunburn on that day. Look outside today!
  18. Cheers, hopefully they'll be released into the wild soon.
  19. Yellow is the last visible colour for people before they go blind I believe, hence the visibility aspect. The current colours would be fine if the design was better, the current livery design looks very out of date. Mind you I'd love for the green to come back. Mind you I loved the old navy and creamof the 60s and Cityswift.
  20. I really like 088. We need to see more pics of that 077 repaint Noel!
  21. Very nice. Would I be right in saying that AV130 was the only dual door AV that got core livery?
