I'm sure they weren't there at 0750 yesterday morning! Mind you, was coming down from Platform 1 and wanted to avoid it all.....

Maybe - just don't hold your breath!

The VCT only has this, last updated in 2003 - http://www.cs.vintagecarriagestrust.org/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=3897

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,

February 2015 starts off with a few shots from Portlaoise and Heuston, including a shot of LUAS 3019 in a Sky Fibre AOA

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,

A few shots from this morning and evening at Heuston, including a shot of 22052 in Platform 1 with the 'mood lighting' on at the Eircom building

Kieran

I still have somes of his videos on Model Railways - always had a voice that indicated you could do it. Very sad to hear

If you include variations, 215 with the new logos.

I think I can add though - Revised Original Enterprise (as carried by 207 and 233 - full yellow end)

Photos of the aboce liveries if you can't visualise them:

1. Original orange / black / yellow (https://www.flickr.com/photos/hurricanemk1c/9566138552/in/set-72157650122569965)

2. Later version with larger yellow patch ( )

3. Original "Enterprise" ( )

4. NIR variation on above (Not quite sure about this one)

5. Second (current) "Enterprise" ()

6. New "Enterprise" silver and black ( )

7. Green and grey "Intercity" ( )

8. NIR all-blue ( ) (not my photo)

9. Revised Original Enterprise ( )

071's have had:

Supertrain

Supertrain with white stripe

Freight Silver/Black

Slate Grey

I hope the livery isn't all over maroon - just looks too drab
