    Update:
    The main components of the Arriva part of the livery is complete. I only need to get the advanced coupling mechanism complete before I make any changes prior to adding branding, etc... This livery is using the ATW base to create a what if scenario for HH x RN, but I will provide pictures before I add the branding as part of my application, with pictures of the branding also being included

    Hehe no worries. I thought I'd just check in case just so I'm respecting your privacy. Yeah I'll try giving you some details on how the 57 is going as well as future projects I hope to make as well.

    Thank you. There's still more to be done, but I have a solid foundation now :D. Yes that's something I'm still deciding so I guess you'll find out soon enough. Like my nickname given to me by Rigsby, I'm mysterious by nature and by decision making so it could be somewhere you least expect it ;) Cheers for your offer though. I may need help with both yours and Rigsby's logos just so that it can be as close to both of your liveries as possible

    Take care,
    Mr Mystery lol (JPlayz)

    Hello.

    Sorry in my delayed response.

    To clear up any confusion about who is responsible for what area of the businesses is as follows.

    HH,RN UK. The TSLP contract under the HH Group. (All UK based side is under my control)
    Then for HH, RN EU, then this is a sub contract agreement with speedfreak the owner of RAILNEX.
    He like I with his Logo has the same control over the HH,RN EU sector.
    Speedfreak has total control over HH,RN EU, not I.

    I am solely responsible for the HOOKHAUL Group of Companies as I am to Operations Director for HH,RN UK, only.
    If you wish to do work under the HH,RN, EU Brands or Branding then I have no control or obligation in the agreement set by Myself and speedfreak to offer you any work under those conditions stated above.

    Therefore I ask you to submit any proposal of application to the right person in charge of the relevant company or department.

    I must state that part of the original contract agreement between HH and RN does say we can request either division be HH,RN, UK and HH,RN, EU to demand or request more stock based on each company business demands.

    This is so any CEO under tight operating circumstances can demand either party to provide the necessary support they need.
    Thus if ever there should a case of this I and speedfreak can use all resources under our control or seek more members to deal with what company needs the assistance most.

    As I am sure you are aware you’re currently working within the TSLP Paint shop division. The HH contract for R200 Project.
    There I believe you are under the guidance of a TG08 a sub contractor not a member of my company.

    Meaning any work we give can or have knock on effects else where.
    To avoid these conflicts of interests then I shall be making arrangements soon to discuss matters with TG08.

    Hopefully we can find a resolution so all can move forward in what we seek.

    I shall email Bernard now to follow up our promise to assist you this once.

    As always I thank you for your patience and understanding.
    If you do have any further questions then please feel free to contact me here at anytime.

    Rigsby.

    Hey speedfreak I know you work so in simple terms I can assist with you Jpayz if speedfreak need that assistance.
    As I say speedfreak works I don’t.

    The Relax part:)

    Thanks TG08.

    Speedfreak work is amazing so why not use it.

    Just my opinion though.

    Just so this clearer is all for me to follow, your just doing this as individual work and NOT on instructions from TG08?.

    Not R200 based?.

    Is this right?

    Yes so this is my own work as part of my application. If I'm not accepted, this shall be my own work, with adjustments being made such as adding the Arriva Trains Wales branding

    Okay.

    What about this. I’m doing the 87s as a quick job for a few days. Lighten the mood. If I go now they will all be done.
    I’m free to work on MK3s and anything TG08 has for the R200. That is my agreement to support him due to recent events.
    So if am to do this let’s make what you are doing part of R200 on the freight side.

    As CEO of HH,RN Uk then why not have that company or even RAILNEX Uk at the event?.
    I have asked speedfreak is he would like a 87 for RAILNEX UK.

    All this is stemming from a comment made by TG08 in having other companies at the event because of that issue with GBRf.
    But TG08 GBRf will now be at the event. So game on now;)

    I’m taking a risk you will have all HOOKHAUL UK, RAILNEX UK, and GBRf and those 66s that started it all off.
    Back to Basic TG08.

    TG08 you ask I support and supply. So 87s done. Then back to business on MK3s get you shorted out Jplayz and TTB and let get this done.

    Sound like a plan Jplayz, TG08?.

    I am committed to this approach as Project Leader.

    Rigsby.
    ✌.

    PS anything we do now wish to discus in detail could it be kept for the meeting room.
    Just after this morning that’s all:)

    Tar.

    I could try this. I might make a copy of the livery when it's done before I add the decals for R200 as well as some other visual updates. The livery itself should be out by the end of the week, meaning that I can make a start on the R200 side next week

    Could you half the body. Cut the blue curves. Then run white next to the light blue. Then do the body red?.
    You could introduce Rail 200 theme then.

    Along the lines of this.
    IMG_2225.jpeg
    Be bold and creative, if nothing is obvious then force an idea to then build on.
    That AFW will sit nicely then with R200.

    Ok we can move away from here and discuss at an appropriate time for a meeting.

    We need direction now.

    Okay I’m off from here. (R200)

    That's a good point. I think Direct Rail Services actually took on the ATW as well as the Virgin 57s so this could work. Maybe I'll try the virgin one as well for R200. I'll see how this goes first

    There you go then, directions as you have something to work with not look for.

    And if it’s to be part of R200 work then again we me and TG08 can factor all this in, make arrangements and get it done.

    Okay I’m off.

    I like the idea that it is a taken over locomotive with other brand logos stuck on it :) You see it more often

    we have Arriva in the Netherlands too but it doesn't do freight services

    Yeah. A lot of UK liveries are actually like this so I'm glad you seem to like the prospect of that :D

    Yes I've heard of that. I'm not sure. I know Arriva mostly operates in passenger services. In the UK that includes Grand Central which is an open access company.

    Hello some quick information for you.

    It’s quite self explanatory just blocks behind blocks. I’ve placed those blocks in different colours so you can see what I am on about.
    I have provided two colours to for quick reference.

    IMG_3904.jpeg IMG_3909.jpeg IMG_3910.jpeg Had more time to watch a video done by Rudy. I love what He does so yes imagine your work on YT and for Rudy’s YT channel.

    Check his bio on YT. I think he’s from Netherlands:) if so even better for you.

    I’d share more links of The Simtrain Tube channel but I know DTG can be a little fun I’ve heard.
    But go check the videos on YouTube. Seriously it’s a good find mate, relaxing too.
    I really want to see more videos from Rudy. Yet the quality of his work doesn’t take five minutes to achieve that level of quality.

    Fingers, Toes and my ,,,,,lol are crossed for more content like the WCML line tho.
    Love the Channel.

    Night mate.
    A little push on 66 713 first tho:)
