Whats the story with the livery ? Like this? 8209 passes Portlaoise, 27/7/15 by hurricanemk1c, on Flickr It's an unfinished version of the new Enterprise livery. There should be photos of one of the finished locos in some of the links in the prototype photo section: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/46-Photographic-Website-Updates?p=68750#post68750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 hurricanemk1c Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Indeed, 206 is in the more complete livery, as seen at Portarlington: 8208 is the next one, currently in the works at Inchicore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 steventrain Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Person from Facebook said the old livery enterprise 230 is back on track for trail soon! The 230 catch fire north of Newry two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visually it is not bad at all. The black might have been better as a dark grey to better contrast with the maroon. However, I'm not a fan of wavy patterns on trains. Passenger trains look better with horizontal colour schemes in harmony with their longitudinal shape and should be bi-directional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the number 2 cab end and intended to couple to the coaches. The grey end is the 'front' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I'm long past the psychedelic age, whether this is good or bad is entirely up to the individual, so what the hell is wrong with Green, & maybe Tan, or Black & Tan, or all Black, or all Gray, I say get it & paint it the colour you want, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
