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:

Indeed, 206 is in the more complete livery, as seen at Portarlington:

 

 

8208 is the next one, currently in the works at Inchicore.

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.

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.

I think this is the number 2 cab end and intended to couple to the coaches. The grey end is the 'front'

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,
