Weshty Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm not one for snark, but this is not shuffling my shells. Maybe an undercoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Let's hope so - most liveries end up with a nickname and "Puke" isn't one that would suit their marketing strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share 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...

Railer Posted July 22, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted October 21, 2015 Share 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.
