Hi chaps, I'm looking for reference material on NSWGR and SRA liveries -- specifically Candy and Tuscan -- are there any books or possibly any online material anybody knows of on the subject?




If you ain't got an Alco, you ain't got nothin'!

It's been scientifically proven that the Candy scheme was the best NSWGR of all time!

Hey great to see another 442 class fan on the forums Very Happy

A great book to get is Diesel Spectrum on candy livery locomotives. And has some good photos of 442's in candy including 44211.

AMRM had an article somewhere back about the then new 'Red Terror' Livery, that could provide you with a base to start off.
BTW, your signature could not be more accurate, nothing like a good Alco to put on a show for the public.

I agree with SMR 30 fully on this. The Diesel Spectrum Series is fantastic especially if you want a broad overview of the Liveries and the many small deviations of them as it points out and has photographs showing them where it being smaller front numbers on the front or sides of the locomotives where the numbers where positioned differently.

So yes my ALco loving friend go check them out for sure.

Also an excellent site for looking at the different liveries is this photopic site of Mr Brian Atkins and I sincerely hope you enjoy looking at this site as much as I do.

Separate "Diesel Spectrum" books can be found listed on page 66 of the Australian Model Railway Magazine dated August 2008.
