Can we make the assumption that the ends of the loco will be predominately yellow?

There's no purple on the refurbished N/H sets, isn't there?

Don't worry, over time it will grow on you   like anything, the more you see it the more you assimulate to it...

No purple, there will be a few white stripes, the yellow has been added today, only the top and horns of each end will be yellow.

When you say "The top has been done in Yellow" I trust you mean the front of the cab around the Horns & No# Boxs & not the roof
Correct
If it is the roof, big mistake, it won't stay clean for long & that "Safety Yellow" willl be all but vertually unrecognisable

No the roof will be grey, the yellow is around the number boards,

When the VLP Maroon first replaced the V/Line Orange I though it was hideous, though now I can't bear to think of VLP without the Maroon. Had I been around back then I would have thought the same about VR Blue/Gold vs VicRail Teacup.
