Title: Shades of blue
Post by: michael on December 12, 2011, 08:23:36 PM
I have in a draw in my railway room some Railmatch Prov' light blue (208), is this the same as Laria blue?

It was bought for a class 60 to paint Teenager Cancer Trust livery, was just wondering if it could be used on a class 50 as well

Thanks

I think it was Rail Blue that Laira used on the class 50's, definiteley not provincial light blue.

It doesn't have to have ever carried it before ... Ask Tank! (I love his NSE Voyager  :smiley-laughing:)

Thanks Tony! :thumbsup:  I haven't used the unit since I painted it. ::)  I've been working on my new layout framework today, so it won't be long before I have my stock all on show again.

I agree.  Paint anything in the livery that you like.  You get a lot more comments about them.  A lot of people like to see something different, and some will tell you how awful it looks!  :D

I quite fancy doing a 47 with white window frames, will look a bit pullman like. Ive also got a cl50 with yellow ends done, just needs a main body colour.
