Warbonnet Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Cool your jets people, it's not real but interesting to see what it would look like. Looks a bit too British to me.. 'Shaun the engine'!?! Quote
Riversuir226 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 204 looks damn good in the grey black livery Agreed on Shaun the engine much to UK for me Quote
BosKonay Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Wow! Almost doesn't look like a 201 any more! Quote
UP6936 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The blue makes the sides look very tall I think. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Paddy the engine would sound better Quote
jhb171achill Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I've seen that artist's work on the Internet before and he does some fantastic and realistic re-liveries of all sorts of things by photoshop! Excellent stuff.... Though a 201 in that livery in reality would give me a dose of the conniptions and the screaming fits....... Quote
Blaine Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Might happen yet, Id be happy to see more 201's out of storage no matter what colour they are painted Quote
UP6936 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Thats a fair point blaine. Just as long as nobody goes slapping silly paint on a 111, I wouldn't be overly bothered by a stobart 201. Jhb, what exactly does a conniption entail? Quote
Grange Castle Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 A stobart 201 would fit nicely into my collection Quote
jhb171achill Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Ah, UP, it's a terrible terrible condition to have to endure...... worse than listening to "wonderwall" played by a Temple Bar "musician" on board an MED bound for Larne on a wet Tuesday morning in February....... Quote
heirflick Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 i will have to think about ......thought about it and i wouldnt like it! but i will agree with blaine - better to have that livery and have more 201's back in service. Quote
RedRich Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Maybe if it the blue was changed to green like the road trucks, it might be a bit more eye catching. Rich, Quote
Garfield Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Doubt Stobart's marketing team would decide to use 'Union Jack' colours here. I reckon they would go green, like the road fleet, which would also avoid clashing with Translink's blue liveries. If they also ditched that stupid '...the Engine' name thing, all the better. Ah, pipe dreams... Quote
StevieB Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 A few years ago at the Warley Show at the NEC, Birmingham, the layout Greystones featured a loco in the fictitious IEWS livery - I believe the loco was a 201. It looked most effective. Stephen Quote
Weshty Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Might happen yet, Id be happy to see more 201's out of storage no matter what colour they are painted Absolutely agreed, but that is a sickly looking livery, why don't they use the road version, way classier... Quote

Ah, pipe dreams... Stupid? Stupid? That is an Eddie stobart tradition there mate! I would gladly souptort the "stupid name thing" and I am a fan of stobart just to let you know! Every truck and car and van is named after a girl, and every loco after a boy! Boys some people need learn "if you can't accept it, leave it". And tough luck too, as stobart rail has plans to come over to Ireland (btw the blue on stobart rail is darker) Quote

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Every truck and car and van is named after a girl, Quiz Time. Name the two trucks in the fleet that ain't named after girls. Edited May 8, 2014 by Flying Scotsman 4472 Quote

Grange Castle Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Correct you win I think the Airport vehicles have best names, such as Loo-ise and Loo-Loo, the toilet waste collection vehicles, Aqua, the fresh water supply and Cand-ice the de-icer. Quote

BosKonay Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Perhaps start a new off topic thread about the trucks this ones for the much rumored 201 locomotive Quote
jhb171achill Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Small voice in corner says : a 201 in 1970s black'n'tan might look good... Quote
josefstadt Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 A small voice in the other corner says: 'Oh yes! And what about in 1950s green with eau de nil numbers'. Quote
Broithe Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 A small voice in the other corner says: 'Oh yes! And what about in 1950s green with eau de nil numbers'. ..or just black and dirt - with an off-white circle to denote 'oil-burning'...? Quote
UP6936 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Small voice in corner says : a 201 in 1970s black'n'tan might look good... I also thought that. I think the A and C class version of Black and Tan would work a lot better than the Baby GM version, ie tan stripe going downwards in the centre and white band at the cab roof level Quote
jhb171achill Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 There's a retro precedent. Who'd have ever thought 071s in GSWR / GSR / CIE all-over grey! De Dietrich set in all brown, with the NIR 201s in blue? Oh....wait.... Quote
