Choobacca Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Could it be this one. It looks even better with a fresh coat of paint!http://www.railwayherald.co.uk/imaging.centre/showimage.php?image=119537&type=24&gallery=X8&cbcsection=diesel|@type=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postman Prat Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 HiD5579 was the loco painted in Golden Ocre in BR ownership. D5578 was Blue. All other locos were standard Green.The loco currently carrying the Golden Ocre only became this colour after preservation. I haven't seen it but, from photos, it looks rather smartChoobacca said:Here's a class 31 wishlist that I recently sent to Hornby:Class 31 Golden Ochre.

LCDR Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have an original Tri-ang D5578 in blue, it does look well. I never saw the original, but I did catch the ochre one D5579 in the background when I was photographing Britannias on the turntable at Liverpool Street. It looked quite smart.
