It does seem strange though that, despite there being a CGI image that relates closely to the new livery, it hasn't been used at all, even to just give a general idea. However, if it wasn't 'pinned down' to a certain extent it could have been wise
The only reason 8209 wasn't finished was that the design wasn't finalised - something to do with the shade of colours to be used. As it was it was sitting in the paintshop for a week because of the shape of the yellow end. The loco was ready, design not. Simple as that.
Note that the coach was released about 2 months after 8209 (a month in service)
The next loco (206) is in the full livery but not yet released (even to passing trains). Watch this space - should be out this month or next month
Good evening all,

There are derogations in place regarding the colour of the doors. Something along the lines of if it isn't in normal revenue service or only used for a charter service. Hence why charter stock doesn't have to have it. The NYMR in the UK operates maroon Mark 1's onto the National Network to Whitby but don't have the contrasting doors.
Anyway, I've heard a reason why the yellow on 8209 is in that shape - the painters got fustrated with the designers and just painted it. The new 29000 livery has taken a bit of getting used to but will look good when kept clean. Still prefer the original colours for them though
Evening all,

I hope the livery isn't all over maroon - just looks too drab
Those two numbers wrecked my head while discussing 201's in store - someone always wound someone else up and then made up a failre, such as a Warp Core breach.
The ones I wanted (photo wise) are 204, 210, 211 and 212. Yet to get a shot of them on their own!
