'Red and green should never be seen'

I think, anyway. Could be worse, could be better. I don't like fictional locos/repaints, so i won't be a downloader. I'm sure there'll be many people that like diversity such as this however!

Another thing i don't like - Locos without numbers, makes keeping records of them so difficult.

Red and green are christmas colours, its too eye blinding and bright for me.

Far to bright and vivid. Not a good colour choice. Im up for fictional repaints.....but they need to be serious ones. Like NWT style. Fictional but realistic

Too bright....

Why are locos related to females?

The doors would be a bit confusing! Imagine all the people obeying the DDA compliant doors on the 57 and invading the cab!

Actually looking at it again... it's not as bad as first appears (sorry that sounded a bit rude, but it does rather jump out at you).

What I mean is that it looks too flat as is. The red is a nice tone and very reminiscent of London Transport red livery. Where I think you've gone wrong though is the vibrant green. It's just a tad too bright. Why not try a darker more subdued colour, like grass green or a blue or even grey? And the green sweep, should be echoed on the coaches too. Perhaps with the upward sweeps covering the carriage doors and using the red to contrast for the stripes that make it DDA friendly.

Once a bit of weathering has been added, I reckon it'd be quite usable as a fictional VR livery.

Don't be put off by criticism... My first and only repaint was a disaster of epic proportions, you've done better than I could already.

I'm welsh, but that doesn't change the saying.

Psychlogically red is a bad colour, it makes people react more than any other.... also if youve ever owned a red car, they always look like they need cleaning...

Perhaps darkening the green down to more like Racing Green might take the edge off the red...

Perhaps a bit of blending as well from the green to the red and from the red to the yellow....

Listen to me though, its 1000% better than my best effort so far....

one other question. Why does it say "HST 2, what does it mean 2 u...?" on the side, in yet another vastly contrasting shade of blue. No offence but it looks like u painted it in MS Paint, where u dont get a choice in colour shades. Also, the use of bad english isnt very clever.
