What do you feel is the best livery for a class 66?

DRS
EWS
Freightliner
Fastline
GBRf New
GBRf old
Advenza
DB Red
or Colas

also what livery do you think would look good on a 66? can be anything you want GC,NXEC,Virgin, Load Haul, Mainline blue...

I think all liveries suit the loco but EWS and Freightliner are at the bottem of the pile for me, Advenza, colas and Fastline at the top

as for livery id like to see...wait for it....Load Haul

I believe the one livery that suits the 66s very well is the Network Rail livery which I know has never been wore by them but is the best livery I can think of apart from First GBRF of course, ;)

I like the GBRf corprate livery but I think the Fastline livery suits it the best.

Colas looks ok but I dont like thier logo.

Fastline looks best in my eyes, it suits well. Black line across the front looks good

EWS or freightliner for me it's just what I'm used to. The DBS red looks good too as does GBRf.

I agree with 37401 i would like to see loadhaul like what 50035 was put into.

Personaly i think the fastline livery looks to cluttered, with to many stripes ect on any loco. the best in my opinion is Advenza as it looks clean tidy & uncluttered.

Network Rail livery is simple but attractive.




Loadhaul definitely looks quite smart on a 66.




I'd like to see class 47-style two tone green though.

The coal sector shed livery makes it look like a proper good BR loco.
Only problem is it isnt a good loco.
