Warbonnet Posted August 26, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riversuir226 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 204 looks damn good in the grey black livery Agreed on Shaun the engine much to UK for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted August 27, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted August 27, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UP6936 Posted August 27, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirflick Posted August 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted August 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted August 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted August 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshty Posted August 29, 2013 Share 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...

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".

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
