Well, that pause didn't last long - and there's more AC Electrics to come! I forgot I'd done a few 86/0s and 86/3s, so I may as well release them...
After a brief pause while I deal with some necessary business here at home ( preparing a lecture and delving into a friend's Ancestry), I hope to...
What will be for now the final livery upload for the AC Electrics - 83013 in 1970s BR Blue with double TOPS numbers and obsolete alpha-numeric...

Returning to the AC Electrics, the late 1960s / early 1970s produced a few livery variations among the various classes. BR Blue started to take...
Not my area of interest, but it looks very good! That front end is rather convincing! The current problem between Livery Designer and Formation...

*996 is the ex-LMS Twin 10001, also in 1956 BR Lined Green livery. They must have presented quite a sight - and sound - heading out of Euston...

AL1 E3005 with small Yellow panels: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't know why, but it always amazes me that BR introduced its first 25KV AC Electrics as early as 1959. For some reason, I expected them to be...
The early NSE with the paler blue did tend to 'whack you between the eyes'! It was such a contrast to Corporate Blue.
:D Sorry, no Anglia. I actually never saw anything in Anglia livery,:( it was during my 'lean' railway years when I didn't / couldn't get out and...

If you're doing BR Blue, you need one for every class of loco. And don't forget, if you do other liveries, eg, Railfreight, the lettering is...
It takes me several hours just to produce a data panel. :o I'm not sure I'd call it my favourite thing to do either. :(
Be my guest, David. I couldn't get it to run with MK1s though, only MK2s.
