New livery
I happened to be in York today, the day the new livery was unveiled, and I had the opportunity to go into the NRM. I've added a couple of photos of the new livery - they're not brilliant as the lighting was poor, so feel free to replace when some better pictures are available! —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 17:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent work. Any timely photo is better than none. MickMacNee (talk) 18:27, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I replaced it with one I believe to be of slightly better angle. Byeitical (talk · contribs) 18:31, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions
Just my opinion on what should be improved before GA nom.


 * The Background section needs more references
 * The diagram just needs a caption.
 * Possibly move the diagram up to the design section and not have it as its own section.

Hope this helps. Simply south not SS, sorry 16:57, 28 December 2008 (UTC)




 * IMVHO, the diagram (reproduced above) needs to be removed. It is inaccurate on various counts, poorly coloured in, the scale is not specified but even if it is to scale, the scale is too small for it to be drawn accurately.  It is not a proper CAD drawing but something done in MS Paint or the like.  Anyway, it can go in Wikimedia Commons if the author really desires it.  Something that might be useful would be something like an engine weight diagram, as used by the railway companies, e.g.  with basic dimensions marked on, but the present diagram illustrates very little, if anything, and that anything which it might illustrate is more than adequately covered elsewhere by photographs.

 * I agree. - Erik Baas (talk) 00:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
