071 in Black and Tan

[spudfan]

If Irish Rail were to outshop an 071 class loco in "black and tan" livery it would give Murphy Models the perfect opportunity to release another 071 model. I always wondered what an 071 "black and tan" would look like. Actually I'd like one...

Me too! They only missed that livery by some four years….

I once again bring on northernblue109s Flickr….I just saw he put up A class in BR black and BR green

 Obviously looks handsome, but it also looks very long versus what are used too!

I like the class 071 in it's current livery but tne Murphy Model version has the grab handles on the cab ends. Think the locomotive looks a lot better without the handles on the front of each cab.

Morning all,

I'm new here but have been following for a while.

071 in Black and Tan looks the part.

Those A class in BR Green and black look great too.

I well remember the days of them on the Enterprise.
