The day before the appearance of the class 70 on Britain's rails provides a suitable 'cut off point' for my 'modern image' modelling. :no: Horrid-looking things! ;)
I am not a complete lunatic - there are pieces missing!

Well if it looks like someone has been sick, you might as well paint it sick colour I guess  :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:

I think it actually looks pretty good, just as if it belongs in Australia or somewhere not here

Didn't people say the same about Bulleid's Spam Can Pacifics?  Look what happened to them...

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Afraid, however, that I'm not beholden.
But as Greybeema said look what was originally said about Bulleid's Spam-Cans (and Q1s of course)
I'll get round to fixing it drekkly me 'ansome.

Is that a spoof or do colas really have a class 70????

colas are my favourite operator now because of class 56s and 47s and nice livery too.

not a class 70 fan but they are a change from 66s and an interesting addition to the modern rail scene!

have 70s been sold to any operators in the rest of the world?

Sure, they're not pretty, but they're damn functional and powerful.

I've had one of the new models for several weeks now. They're a very nice model.

Nice livery! Wrong loco! I don't know about Class 70, more like Class Marmite!  :sick2
