Glenderg Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Fresh off the boat. Plastic comes off. Wrong livery. Or Vandalism at the North Wall. Situation unclear. Gardai not investigating. More info later. Thanks to The Wanderer for kind use of his pics. Richie. Only a few months now lads til 01st April 1 Quote
Broithe Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I think it's an improvement - though, they might think about having the doors in a contrasting colour. 1 Quote
Tarabuses Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I think it's an improvement - though, they might think about having the doors in a contrasting colour. Yes, that livery variation looks different! Quote
David Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Looks a hell of a lot better if you ask me! Nice job Richie! Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Could an ex Garda investigate? Would probably start in the NCR area:cool: 1 Quote

scahalane Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 nice photo work, the livery looks excellent. Quote
BabyGM Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Is that real? If IÈ keep them on the Mk 3s may be able to run with them with a few adjustments Quote
BabyGM Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Photoshop I thought so Still it's nice to see some orange Quote

Glenderg Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Glad ye liked it, Might have a go at 071 class in the ICR Livery now. 1 Quote
Broithe Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I've just been given a 66 - that might have to be done. It actually does look better... But, for me - the past was bright, the past was orange... Quote
David Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Can you do the 66 in the orange? Might be a nice respray as a fictitious Irish freight loco! Quote
RedRich Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 The 67 looks a bit familiar with the angled cab front. I have to say the orange livery is without doubt the livery that will last longer in the memory than the others currently running. I've always had a soft spot for the Cravens in their last livery, and the MK11's in IE livery with black roof. Jim's idea to repaint a 66 in the Intercity livery would be interesting. Rich, Quote
Broithe Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Jim's idea to repaint a 66 in the Intercity livery would be interesting. Rich, I have a vague idea that it's been done... Loads of UK examples here - http://www.fictitiousliveries.co.uk/ - and an 89 in Supertrain.. Edited August 23, 2012 by Broithe Quote

Glenderg Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 it has been done!!! must find a pic of it! Aaargh! Noooo.... I'm nearly finished Class 66 in IE orange!! Quote
David Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Aaargh! Noooo.... I'm nearly finished Class 66 in IE orange!! Don't give up! Dying to see it. Quote
Glenderg Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Gonna give it a break for a bit, it's not happening. the angles on the sides are a bu**er. Quote
Shinkansen Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Hi Glenderg, nice bit of photoshop work on the Rotem rail car. Well done. I am a fan of the current livery for these (much better than the Mk4s), but do miss the old orange and black. It was in fairness a very distinctive livery. This compulsion to paint everything here silvery-grey and call it modern has gone a little over the top in my opinion. Transport should be in bright and distintive colours i.e. Yellow cabs in NY, Red Buses in London, Green and Yellow Trams in Melbourne etc... The orange livery with a bit of tweaking actually looks quiet contempory, It almost appears metallic with the black appearing almost gunmetal. Nice Quote
heirflick Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) [ATTACH=CONFIG]2344[/ATTACH] never liked the bloody railcars...but could change my mimd if they were in that livery! far more pleasing to the eye=D . . Edited August 24, 2012 by heirflick Quote
Sulzer201 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Agree, they look more like real trains in the old livery. Quote
islandbridgejct Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Nice livery job, Richie, though the 22s look better in green. Prettiest thing on the network these days, they are (071s in black and silver being better looking but certainly not 'pretty'). The 22s are how I learned to love railcars and stop longing for Cravens. Here's the 89 in Supertrain livery, which is great - http://www.fictitiousliveries.co.uk/photo.php?89011_ob.jpg. Try the 47 in black and tan - that orange doesn't suit it at all. The 67 is good. Someone did a 58 on here (or the old site) in orange and black a way back which looked superb. Alan Quote
josefstadt Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 How about an 071 in the CIÉ livery originally carried by the 141s, or possibly in the 121s grey livery with yellow stripes - could be numbered A71 - A88. Then again a 201 in the green livery carried by the A class in the 1950s. Quote
heirflick Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) dont forget the steamers....... a jinty supertrain! excuse the paintjob, the masking was done using household tape ...having none of the good stuff - you have to improvise!! Edited September 2, 2012 by heirflick 2 Quote
snapper Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 dont forget the steamers....... a jinty supertrain! excuse the paintjob, the masking was done using household tape ...having none of the good stuff - you have to improvise!! What do you normally use for the good stuff? Quote
leslie10646 Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I agree that the Rotem looked very good in the orange. A pity IE don't realise that! If you attend exhibitions here in the South of England (that's the big place next door!) you may have seen an A4 in Virgin livery and a Spam Can in SWT livery! Nightmare! However, the Jinty ran "up North" so none of this repainting it in black and tan! Leslie 1 Quote
IrishModelRail Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Nice, but better with say yellow doors. Quote
heirflick Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 What do you normally use for the good stuff? tamiya masking tape. Quote
