GBRf 92 repaints

Hi all,

Just wondering: will all the other GBRf-owned Class 92s follow 92032's example and receive GBRf livery, or is such a scheme just wishful thinking?

Personally I hope that they all stay in the liveries they have at the moment, just how much money the entire railway industry has wasted on 'updating' liveries since privatisation must be too awful to imagine, I'd rather see a loco or train running in the livery it had in 2005 for example, than in its 5th different one in the same time, surely less money spent on paint equals the possibility of more vehicles capable of carrying passengers or freight

Perhaps I should wish the paint and vinyl manufacturers a happy, but less prosperous, new year

What is the cost of stripping, priming and painting a mainline loco?

At Loughborough, 92033 is already in base colours for the new Scottish sleepers service. Looks to be some sort of all over dark grey/blue, which is to get some type of silver stag logo from what I've been told.

And what's happened to 92017 since it was painted into Eddie Stobart colours? Seems to have vanished!

Stored at Crewe from what I can see.
