Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 True man, will be interesting to see. Will have to take a trip out when it escapes onto the mainline for a video if it is. Hopefully Dave will be secure the photo and share it. Also think it would be interesting if the new logo is being put on a 35 year old freight loco before anything else! Good to see money still being spent on the 071s. Airbrushes at the ready! I hope to get down in a coupe of weeks so will be in touch before then to see what suits you and Bren. As for the airbrush its always at the ready Bud. . I think another day in Kildare is needed. Quote

Guest hidden-agenda Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Mk4 driving trailer 4003 is supposedly carrying the new markings. Quote
Barl Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Mk4 driving trailer 4003 is supposedly carrying the new markings. Yes I saw it this morning, sitting outside Inchicore, the Intercity markings looked much better! Quote
driver301 Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I'm not the biggest fan of this logo either however I recall feeling exactly the same when the IE plug/socket logo replaced the IR point logo back in 1994. For now I will wait & see if grow to like it! Anyone got any photographs of it on IE rolling stock yet? Quote
Blaine Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I don't know Bud it's impossible to tell until we all see a photo I'm just guessing. Who's up for an SAS photo mission to Inchacore Good luck getting in!! Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 The new body colour is described as Slate Grey RAL 7015 Front panel, BR Warning Yellow Green is "Fern Green" White Alunimum RAL 9006 Quote
Garfield Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 any pics? You'll have to commission the CIA or MI5 to obtain some, Seamus! Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 The new body colour is described as Slate GreyRAL 7015 Front panel, BR Warning Yellow Green is "Fern Green" White Alunimum RAL 9006 Cheers Dave, that sounds like it could be quite nice. Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 077 is the loco in question I believe. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 any pics? Saw some pics last night My spy is afraid of his gick to give them to me The yellow front looks massive! Might have some eventually but I reckon they will be in the public domain by then. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Sounds very 'british' in scheme... wonder how a 201 would look in it too... Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Saw some pics last night My spy is afraid of his gick to give them to me The yellow front looks massive! Might have some eventually but I reckon they will be in the public domain by then. Was hoping they'd keep the yellow front small ala 112. The current freight livery falls down because of the big yellow front in my eyes. Looking forward to seeing it! Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Massive as in the dogs ... Very 112 ish, maybe a tad bigger but similar in style etc Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Massive as in the dogs ...Very 112 ish' date=' maybe a tad bigger but similar in style etc[/quote'] Ah very good! Sounds really good to me! Sent the pics to Paddy yet? Quote

Blaine Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 European Numbers and old logos (for now) Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Nice one Ed, weird that they are going for the old logos..... Quote
Killucan2 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 No loco has been painted yet,would not jump the gun until one appears as they could change the sample has gray all over with yellow front,where is the green white red! M. Quote

M.[/quote'] Red is on the brake wheel, logos are white, haven't found the green yet. If Dave says he has seen pics then I have no reason to doubt him. Irish railway news also reports a loco has been painted. Quote

Warbonnet Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Good call rich, I think you're right. It's a bit small to see on my phone. Quote

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.

BosKonay Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Sharp eyes Rich - the I of the IE is indeed Green in that pic Quote
RedRich Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Good call rich, I think you're right. It's a bit small to see on my phone. I was looking at it on a laptop Fran and it wasn't obvious immediately. Rich, Quote
RedRich Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Sharp eyes Rich - the I of the IE is indeed Green in that pic As I said to Fran Stephen, it took a few look's to spot it. If it goes ahead as it is in Ed's post it doesn't look bad at all. It could be a plan in the making for the retailers if MM don't decide to produce it in the future. Rich, Quote
Gordon71 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 European Numbers and old logos (for now) Blaine would did you get that drawing from ?????????? Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Three pin plug logo rather than that new thing? Quote
Riversuir226 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 If this is the new scheme, I really like it. It seems to bring out the best in the 071's. Plus it doesn t seem to be to hard for us to model;) Quote
Blaine Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Blaine would did you get that drawing from ?????????? Now that would be telling (thanks Mr Zuckerberg) Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Three pin plug logo rather than that new thing? Thank God. The paint suppliers have had some GSR battleship grey on special offer. Apart from the silly Euro numbering (what's the point, it's not as if it going to run on the Continent) it's not bad.
