class47 repaints...Anyone interested?

[ollie]

Hi again all,

Ive just downloaded the excellent 47522, and it reminded me of when it was in corporate blue with both cabs rebuilt after collision damage.
When it was BR Blue it was always in a particularly poor condition, with very faded blue livery, as were most GD 47401-47430 and 47518-47528.
It would be great to see some of these locos in this condition as they appeared far and wide, ECML, NE-SW, Scotland on a regular basis.
My particular favourites were:-
47405 Northumbria (with "dinner plate" crest)
47409 David Lloyd George
47413 Large Logo (1 rebuilt end)
47415 ..anyone remember this one "fanning"...red bufferbeams
47417 ..Just after last o-haul.....(loud Exhaust)
47420 ...always o.o.a
47423 ....see 47417
47520 ..painted black headcodes
47527 ....old wreck...

well pretty much all of them really...

Would anyone be interested in doing a couple......please....(SteveS).poss...

Cheers all

thanks

Well, tomorrow night I will be uploading 47475 in Provincial Livery, followed by 47901 in original blue and then 47407 Aycliffe. There are others in the pipeline - and not only from me!

Hi basildd,

now then 47407...

Is it in the standard large logo or the unique livery, either way great,

thanks

It will be in the livery it was in when named - with the yellow roof (as one of the one-off special livery series). There is a pic of the 47475 release in another thread on here
