BosKonay Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It actually looks to return the 071 to their American heritage Really makes them look more like a big lump of Detroit iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) 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: Edited February 14, 2013 by heirflick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschbahn Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) 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. www.youtube.com/user/deutschbahn More videos of the 071 will become available in the morning.

Tarabuses Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Oh jaysus! It's real! Yes, but not very pleaseant. A bit utilitarian to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm171 kk Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The grey is very drab, much preferred the black and silver. Bring back the Super Train livery I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm171 kk Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver301 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Looks like I'm in the minority! 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyGM Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Great video Deutschbann I much prefer the black/silver livery or even more back to orange and black:praying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewanderer Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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.

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killucan2 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayner Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
