Opinion: Is 66789 the best GBRf livery?

[JackOnTheMove]

In my opinion I think it is but evening star is a good competitor

To save others looking it up, this is the 'large logo' BR blue one.

My personal favourite is this one: -

I do like it a lot, but in my mind 66793 (Railfreight Construction) takes the cake.

66779 and 66789 are both O.K., but I think I prefer 66711

 

[BrettSy96]

I like all the special liveried ones, but I think 66721,the white underground ones take top spot for me

Personally, large logo blue is the best livery to ever grace any diesel loco regardless of Class, although I appreciate others' views will be shaped by the era in which they developed their interest in railways (for me the 1980s)

In my opinion, the best is 66779, closely followed by 66794. I know its identical but I prefer how the livery looks on 794 to 793. 66711 is also a close contender and I do like the plain gbrf livery.

Are 66743 and 66746 still in their liveries? I like them too!

 

[Doomotron]

For me Evening Star is the best, the way it works with the body shape is surprising.

I like the Railfreight one posted above yours but my pick would be the underground one as well and when that 66 was up on the sleeper in Inverness, it proved popular and I don't think I've seen any other 66 get the amount of attention that one did.

66794 does look pretty cool in this livery!

Yes, I like the simplicity of it and the nice blue and yellow weird arrow thing

My favourite 66 is 66738, but that's based on a nameplate rather than a livery...

The 'weird arrow' thing isn't really like an arrow at all!

It's more like a wavy line and is the Petroleum Sector logo from back in the day.

There was nothing wrong with 66701 in its original guise.

 

[Peter0124]

My favourite is between 66718 and 66721, I'll probably go with 718.

The detail on 66779 appeals to me, including the 9F steam-era power classification! Seen here on the 'Royal Scotsman' stock at London Victoria.
