Oh jaysus! It's real!

[Warbonnet]

Well done getting the video, looks great!

[Broithe]

Mmm - not pretty.

[BosKonay]

It actually looks to return the 071 to their American heritage Really makes them look more like a big lump of Detroit iron

[BosKonay]

I wonder will the grey hide the dirt better? What was wrong with the black and silver or was there a deal going on the grey paint

[heirflick]

shes very drab looking - that livery wouldnt do much for me! still - i wonder will paddy produce one? it wont be that hard do a respray anyway! thanks for the vid deutschbahn:tumbsup:

I think this livery suits the 071, and will also be easy to maintain. The logo at the side could do with a bit of colour.

More videos of the 071 will become available in the morning.

Yes, but not very pleaseant. A bit utilitarian to be honest.

[gm171 kk]

Thanks for posting Deutschbahn! I think it looks well especially with the white logos. I will be getting a model of it when one is produced that's for sure. Maybe Paddy Murphy will bring a pair out with 209 and 230.

The grey is very drab, much preferred the black and silver. Bring back the Super Train livery I say

[Glenderg]

Darth Vader on rails. it looks *****.

theres as much chance of that happening as there is me becomming the next Pope:bishopbrennan:

[Warbonnet]

Looks like I'm in the minority!

maybe if they painted the buffer beams red?

[gm171 kk]

I just wish it had a bit more colour and design like the locos in the UK. But I suppose they have the advantage of being owned by private companies.

[cogleyl]

i wonder will murphy's models bring out the 071 in this livery?

[BosKonay]

Grey all over and a yellow stripe. Even I'd chance a respray!

the 08 will be great practice so!!!

[BosKonay]

Hope so

[driver301]

Well done getting on the video Deutschbahn.

 

I actually think the livery wall look nice when the remaining colours are added to the logos & finishing touches/trims etc are applied. Look forward the next video:tumbsup:

I said further back in the thread that I thought it looked OK Fran. It needs to be seen outside in natural light. I think it is similar to the NIR 111 class with the familiar all over body color and warning panel. The skirt seems to be the same color also. I reckon she'll look good from a platform as she is passing.

 

Rich,

Rich,

 

Hard to tell but it looks to me that even the bogies are grey. Be interesting to see it a bit dirty too.

[irishrail123]

Not bad, something different anyway!

[BabyGM]

Great video Deutschbann

I much prefer the black/silver livery or even more back to orange and black:praying:

[thewanderer]

4003 has returned to traffic following overhaul and repainting. It is also the first vehicle to carry the new Iarnrod Eireann Irish Rail logo.

 

I photographed it at Rosskelton earlier today on the 1200 to Cork and later that evening at Heuston prior to departure at 1900 for Cork. The pictures may be viewed at:

 

 

 

I also seen pictures of 077 today in its new slate grey livery. Interesting is all I shall say.

 

The Wanderer.

There is no loco painted,the loco in question (077)was only getting a bogie clean yesterday then paint,I would not take notice over in irn as its having a slow death unless your in TRAMS and those heaps of RAILCARS.

 

M.

077 has been painted and looks great

[Killucan2]

077 has been painted and looks great

 

It's only been done in the last few days masking tape still around windows,it was only getting bogie wash on friday before paint,not last week as some people taught,078 not far behind to get paint also,better that that ***** silver livery and should be able to maintain better,will look well on new liner in a couple of weeks!!!

[thewanderer]

077 was only released from the paint shop today so who ever said they saw it last week is telling porkies.

 

The Austerity livery. Cheap and cheerful to maintain.

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Hard to make my mind up on this one I'll wait until I see her outside in the light

[Garfield]

Love it... puts the 071s in touch with their American heritage.

 

Have to say, I was never a fan of the black and silver 'freight' livery... always looked like an ill thought-out bodge to me.

Some how or other this type of dip job looks better on locos with narrow hoods like the 071s than full width car bodies like the 201s or A Class.

 

Overall it looks a bit like a cross between the NIR 071s and SP "Bloody Nose" scheme all thats needed is a bold and simple logo or simply a set of GSWR style whitemetal number plates:o.

 

I think Coillte, DFDS, IWT or Tara Mines are more interested in their trains running to schedule than the colour of the locos.
