Is this being done? I know the livery has only been out a few days, but there is already a photo on here of it.

I've started the new MML livery about 2 days ago, but the photo i'm working from is from the Railstaff newspaper and the photo is a bit poor. Do you have any photos of the 43 and the coahces at all I could borrow?

Alot of more work on it i know, the stripes are a bit low and the colour is a bit hard to get right.

How much is liar magazine?

Something like Â£ 2.40, out this Wednesday.

That looks more than ok to me.

thanks for that article!
Ive worked out why the new livery looks not british.
Take the ICE train, its white- right?
Thats it! Trains from abroud are sometimes white. No train in Britain has ever been white before, so it looks odd, or from another country, not british!

The coach livery will take time for me to get used to, looks a bit futuristic to me.

The ICE is white I think.

It looks like the National Express company is having a complete facelift, their coaches have a new logo on them.

Well, where do we start.... there was D0260 Lion, that was white and then there was the white BR DMU Livery with narrow blue band along the side in the late 70's, then came Eurostar which is white (with blue windows and yellow band along the bottom), then EWS painted its pre EWS red loco's in ghost white/grey (37/56/60's), Connex painted several EMU's in off white pending the new livery and then just forgot about doing them and some still exsist today, WAGN had quite a number of similarly treated 313/315 units and a number of those are still running - all on British stock...

The Connex new livery is white with a grey strip on the coaches.
