Just an optical ollusion due to the zoom. Well known effect. Regards stored 201's - they have non-standard bearings and various other fittings that make them more expensive than even the 071's (spares pool from 30-40 years of use, plus the Baby GM's)

Noel - the wagons can hold either 2x 20ft, 1x 30ft, 1x 40ft or 1x 45ft. The tanktainers are generally 30-35ft long, meaning only one per wagon.

I think it'll look good as a complete set, as long as the Enterprise DBFO gets the same pattern at the end

So it's not Broombridge?

Correct - it's just that is has to haul wagons, not push them

A quick photo of it pasing Kildare yesterday - more to follow

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
