The Class 08 Green Liveried Man

[roberto]

No3 to become mine was a Class 47.
Again in Green Livery.

The next one to become mine, I have to admit, I had no input into the purchase of.
My lady friend purchased for me for Christmas a Bassett Lowke Patriot in Green.
This is the only RTR I have in O gauage.

My latest purchase is a LMS Duchess.
IPLOFFY has already photographed this on his Tipton + Dudley Port.
The eagle eyed amongst you will probably say 46235 never appeared in this livery.
True, when turned out of Crewe works new, she was streamlined with Crimson Lake and what was known as cheat lines.
When the streamlined casing was removed, she was in LMS Black.
She then carried the short lived LMS Blue Livery and finally when under BR was given the Brunswick Green which she still carries in Birmingham Museum.
My only problem is with diesels, I was a Green liveried fan and my steam favourite was LMS.
I therefore, used poetic licence and had the livery I wanted.

Hi Roberto,

Love the diesels, even if they are in green !!. Ive got a couple of 08's in their boxes, not even started yet. Im undecided whether i want 2 x blue, or 1 x blue & 1 x RTC.  :scratch:
