Seems like Ffestiniog Locos are following me around now :lol:

But I've STILL not managed to fire her yet, seeing it was stolen off me and taken up the WHR instead when 87 failed :evil:

It carried blue from 1988ish until taken out of service in 1994.

Have her lined out in proper Penrhyn style and she'll look very smart :)

I have to admit, personally I've never been a fan of Linda's midnight blue look, though I know there are many who liked it. Personally I much prefer black or green. It would also be interesting to see one of the full-size "Ladies" turned out in maroon, a la Palmerston or Merddin. Geoff Munday painted an RH Linda in this scheme and it looked very smart, but alas, the image is no longer available on the website :(

I think that if she had a lipped chimney as opposed to that stove pipe she'd have looked better in blue. On the subject of blue, has a model of either of the ladies been painted in Welsh Pony blue?! :twisted:

What about a loco that could be simultaneously blue, and lined-black?
