    Posted in Model Railways - General Discussions » Roco release a Victorian Railways F class

    Could it be that Roco received paint sample's or pictures of the F class near the end of their life with faded blue & gold? For it appears to me that it matches the colour 1978-82 photos on the VR site, and the lead photo shows a difference in colour between F 201, the B(S?) ??8 and the background T, beyond the coating of grime.

    Then again:


    (Powerline T360, Auscision B75, Austrains Y139 & Roco's F class) there's a bit of visible difference between them.
