Livery Question
I don't know much about liveries and such like but i notice many of the locos on my travels carry this style livery .But when reading magazines and browsing this livery shows up http://47424.fotopic.net/p40107469.html and a couple of models i have my eye on carry this livery. Would it be a major crime to have the two different liveries in the same time period. Many thanks Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge :oops: Nath

Hi Nathan I can't answer your question, but don't ever apologise for not knowing things. You might find the following link useful: http://www.railfaneurope.net/frameset.html It has a very comprehensive set of livery pages. PS: Nice photo. Where was it taken?

Im not sure exactly where it is actually , it was a loco exchange point on a train from Prague - Nurmberg. I believe with had 3 different types of locos 2 Electrics to somewhere, this , then the 218 onwards. But we changed locos at the place where i took the photo ( from the train through the corridor connection window)

Your picture of the 218 is in the newer traffic red while the other pic is in the 1986 IC red scheme. Both have coexisted for a few years now, though some of the old reds are looking a bit faded thesedays. SJ
