Here is a french BB62400 in blue color that is normally used for freight
trains and mostly in multiple units.
Sorry for the colors, it should be classic blue, but looks like Maersk
blue just because the image is too yellow.
It is made in 6 stud width with many simplifications.
See pictures of the real one
(http://www.train-rail.com/materiel/motrices/diesel/bb_62400/) in
situation.

Great work, nice to see you managed to do this in 6 wide!
I did mine in 7 to get the cab to stick out a bit more.
BTW these are ex-Dutch diesel engines (built in France though by Alsthom,
guess the circle is complete!), there was only one blue engine painted back
specially for the Classic 2400 Tour farewell in 1991.
And thanks for the link, nice to see the old engines are still going strong!

I found a couple of pictures from above:
The 2nd picture shows the new french livery with lightgray, darkgray and red
with yellow fronts. This yellow is brighter than the dutch yellow.
On the right
is 662432 (being repainted in the new livery)
On the left are:
662424 (still in gray/yellow dutch livery)
662403 (in the new livery)
662413 (in the new livery, yes this was the blue one!!!!)
662502 (in the new livery)

| Hello Niels, (...) Thanks for these accurate pictures. Now I have to try to render the new livery... a terrible challenge :) Philippe "frogleap" Label (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
