I have to admit I don't like the 37 in DB Schenker red. It looks garish.

If you ask me, it's a garish red on ANYTHING.

I don't know which B&Q mixed the paint for DBS but it certainly doesn't appear to be the same red that they use for their German locos.:D

Saw 37 670 today on Arpley yard. It looks like a Triang model from the 1960s. Glad it's been given a new lease of life though.

37670 failed at Reading on Thursday with a D.S.D fault and was towed Dit to Crewe Basford Hall and then onto Warrington Arpley for repairs. It could be working tomorrow on the Holyhead -Carlisle excursion if repaired in time.

...and that's even MORE garish than the UK version; slightly o/t, but, to be honest, I've never been a fan of ANY DB liveries except the red & cream as used on the 103 class electrics. Maybe it's just me & my impeccable sense of good taste? (Yeah, right). Come to that, other unhappy liveries (in my humble opinion) are ATW's turquoise & cream, and the purple & green colour scheme that's now thankfully disappearing from the LM units.

And wasn't that a TEE livery as opposed to a DB one?
