Title: What might have been
Post by: grahame on September 18, 2013, 17:01:43

Thanks to one of our members posting on Facebook to remind me of the Fictitious Liveries site. This looks really smart ... and is perhaps a reminder of how things might have been had branch lines to small towns with populations of perhaps 5000 or 6000 been retained.

I think Westerns would have looked kool in the FGW 180 livery http://www.fictitiousliveries.co.uk/photo.php?52075gw3.jpg (http://www.fictitiousliveries.co.uk/photo.php?52075gw3.jpg)

Not sure about that one ET. Nor the removal of the 'B' end cab.

Wessies look their best in all over maroon. Followed by the golden ochre that was used on D1015 Western Champion for the first couple of years of its life.

This is a little better for a Wessie, I think:
