It looks alright blackout. :wink:

Possibly the 'worst' livery i ever remember seeing was i think the French franchised TOC that use to run south central trains out of London's Victoria station back in the 1990s.

There trains were painted in an all over DIRTY GREY lined out with abit of ORANGE it looked terrible!!. :shock:

Speaking of colours, this was running around our way last year, http://trev11.zenfolio.com/p300501698

Needless to say, the other side was similar but not the same

It looks rather too pale to me.
It wouldn't surprise me if the shade is either slightly lighter or slightly darker then it should be on these preserved locos nowadays cos the amount of time these locos get a (unnecessary?) new livery every few months the original shade of livery has probably been lost in the mists of time??. :?
