Should there be any less than 280 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere then plants will not grow and you will starve. Think on !

He was just reporting that a 201 loco has gained some decals which may be of interest to modellers, not delivering a lecture on climate or botany. Let's keep the rants to a minimum please.

Cheers!

Wonder when it will appear in Murphy Models form?

I presume they are just vinyls/stickers applied? Wonder if we will see a 201 running on HVO painted up like these?

A new set of decals/stickers and you have a change in livery for 218 probably more 201 will be HVO powered in time

Would love a full body livery like this on the 201 or even a Hydrogen inspired full body livery on whichever 071 gets the go-ahead for that project (is that still happening…?)

Who knows what liveries we'll see on the MM 201's next year? You could get lucky.
