Nice pic from Dunsandle at the weekend. Anyone got a paint scraper handy?

 

[Glenderg]

No scraper, but something more useful

Ah jaysus, Hold on till I get me glasses.

That's some weathering.....

Nearly looks like the green was applied after the orange which couldn't be the case.

It is the case... the coach was previously owned by Westrail, who painted it green.

I see. I thought Westrail as a blood custard type livery?

It was only applied to the E class loco, as far as I know, although that was later switched back to its correct Black and Tan livery.

At least some of the coaches were in the westrail livery as can be seen in this thread:

Ah, indeed. It also shows some shots of the stock after they reverted to using authentic liveries.

Cheers lad, I had seen some of the Westrail stuff before and had forgotten about it. Would be a nice project for someone given that the colour scheme is fairly simple.
