Warbonnet Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Plain green for now Fran. Cheers Noel, cant wait to see her out again. Be interesting to see the final touches. Quote

Broithe Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 Lovely - reminds me of this colour Perhaps they'll be adapting this advert - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4786-Let-the-train-take-the-strain ...? Quote
Weshty Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I'm not one for snark, but this is not shuffling my shells. Maybe an undercoat? Quote

I read elsewhere that Belmond dont want the colour getting out yet, so it's been painted in this interim livery for testing etc and will then go back in for its final livery closer to the launch date.

GSR 800 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Hmm wonder would it look like the dark green used on steam locos in the 50s? Quote

Let's hope so - most liveries end up with a nickname and "Puke" isn't one that would suit their marketing strategy. Quote
jhb171achill Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Imagine...... "Black and Tan" "Puke" Two names with one thing in common; best avoided in their day, and best forgotten subsequently! Quote
Broithe Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Over here, one sometimes hears people ask for a pint of black and tan* - I have yet to hear anybody ask for the alternative - though, I suspect I've been served it a few times... * this would be a half and half over there, for obvious reasons...

minister_for_hardship Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Let's hope so - most liveries end up with a nickname and "Puke" isn't one that would suit their marketing strategy. I believe the RAL code is filed under "Electric Mucus" Quote
GSR 800 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Wonder if Glenderg would do CIE green on a 201 in Photoshop..hint hint;) Quote

Broithe Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 I believe the RAL code is filed under "Electric Mucus" Well, I had to Google that... It's available as in Adobe as a colour scheme - https://color.adobe.com/Electric-Mucus-color-theme-591609/ . Quote

Warbonnet Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 One of the Mark IIIs has been pictured in Scotland being refurbed and painted in a dark blue... Quote
Railer Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 One of the Mark IIIs has been pictured in Scotland being refurbed and painted in a dark blue... Yeah, The Wanderer posted up a shot of the EGV in dark blue and some body work changes being plated over a number of weeks ago. That's why I was questioning this green livery at the start of this thread. Quote
heirflick Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Did they say he was drinking diesel!? ...........yeah - apparently its called 'green diesel' its a mixture of blue after shock and red bull. jive me a pint of Arthur any day of the week and twice on Sunday! Quote
jhb171achill Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Someone mention Arthur? Stick one on for me too. Quote

jhb171achill Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 And Buckfast is (in Belfast) Shankill Shampagne..... (Or Falls Road!) Quote
201bhoy Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 And Buckfast is (in Belfast) Shankill Shampagne..... (Or Falls Road!) Oh no, buckfast is definitely the drink of lower falls ☺️ Quote
steventrain Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 One of the Mark IIIs has been pictured in Scotland being refurbed and painted in a dark blue... Yes There is more. Chris playfair photos - Quote
jhb171achill Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Looks "finished" enough as opposed to undercoat.... anyone know? Quote
GSR 800 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 That shot of the glimpse of the mk3 in its old livery is the picture that shows the end of an era, stunning Quote
dave182 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Remind me lads, how did the mk3s get across to Scotland? Shipped from Dublin port? Low loader? Quote
Blaine Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Finn McCool carried them over, 1 under each arm Quote
Warbonnet Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Remind me lads, how did the mk3s get across to Scotland? Shipped from Dublin port? Low loader? Low loader and ship Dave. Quote
jhb171achill Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 If it was Finn McCool, they must still have been in Ulster Railway locomotive maroon..... Quote
Warbonnet Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 There are pictures on wnxx.com of the completed observation car and its reported its heading for Belfast soon. Livery is nice, observation bit looks like something I've made with a bit of plastikcard and too much glue though. Wnxx is subscriber only btw. Quote
snapper Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 You can view pictures on wnxx without membership http://www.wnxx.com/15/1510/201015/7104.htm Quote
