pics of 60086 with new bodyside logo

[Whitemoor]

Hi all

I snapped these at Whitemoor today, of 60086 with new EWS logos on the body side. I for one think they`re ok, i certinaly prefer them to an allover coat of EWS read and gold.

For the benifit of the tape, the 60 was working a train of sleepers to a worksite on the ely- bury branch.

Have a little look at the pics and see what ya think

Nice shots, EWS have started to do this with the 92's with the first one to be done which is 92026 , i think

Erm Alan? I think he was referring to the real loco

And yes, it does look like an awful knockup job. The reskin is a good representation of nasty thing is the best way to put it I think

I agree, It looks pretty cheap, Shows off the beastie logo well though and it's something different now every 60 livery has been done. I wonder if EWS will ever apply a proper large logo livery to their loco's. I don't suppose what EWS have done is any worse than Transrails effort at a livery. I did wonder what their loco's would look like now had they survived and actually repainted a 60 using the blue in their logo as a base. Seems to have got lost in the depths of my hard drive now though but if it turns up I'll post a pic.

Dusted off and updated, I don't ever do fictional liveries but this wasn't a one off

lol, sorry, should have made myself clearer in my post... it was intended for the real loco not the model The model looks great btw

I really don't like these stick on jobs nowadays. The transrail logo went well with the grey imo, so did the mainline logo, even if it was a bit boring... but the red and yellow just doesn't look good on a grey background

To me, these stick-on logo's show laziness and lack of enthusiasm for the company. Ok, you save a bit of cash but I see the well kept Freightliner 66's, they always look brand new and I don't think i've ever seen a dirty one. This could be a reason for why EWS are losing traffic and Freightliner are gaining. A clean loco presents the company better than a dirty one. You see a dirty loco and you think, hmmmm, whens that next going to breakdown, or, does/would that company actually give a fudge about our product if they can't look after their loco's??

If I wanted to transport some freight by rail I'd choose Freightliner over EWS and what I said above would count as a reason... I don't know if i'd be able to trust my product with EWS. Anyway, think i'll shut up now


edit: btw, just looked at that pic phat posted fookin amazin... *points to avatar*

edit 2: It was ok for the transrail and mainline branding to be applied to loco's because they didnt have any competition as the railway then was just a 1 man band... EWS have competition and their lack of enthusiasm to update their loco's could cost them imo...

Rich: That isn't really TransRail, it's just a TransRail sticker on a BR Blue 37/0

Looks like a nice model. (EWS 60)
Like the plough 'detail'. Don't ask why I wrote that last sentence.

Its not, BR Blue is lighter. It is indeed Transrail Prussian Blue.......
