Hello there!

As I'm currently re-painting my Mamdom I was thinking about what livery / colours to go for, I was originally thinking of SDJR Blue.... But what would other members think of an Industrial look? Black or a dark colour with Wasp Stripes on the back of the cab?

Let me know your Thoughts / Critiisms!

Black with wasp strips would look suitably industrial. Although you could go South African and have it in maroon, blue or green with some garish lettering and detail picked out. That said if it is going to be really industrial the only colour you'll need is grime!

it depends on the industry, many industrial locos were ignored and allowed to look grotty but somegot the gwr bug and kept their locos clean. Any colour is right on your railway

I agree there (then again I would agree that most things look good in black anyway!

), unless you have a loco that over oils itself, then it's a right pain cause if the sun is out all the oil stands out like a sore thumb.....
