I like it. Echoes of the 2-tone green Brush Type 4s that would have handled the boxes back in 1965 🙂 Certainly better than Gaudy & W**k tango ripple anyway 😆
Hmm 🤔 Front looks rather like a Class 92, and for that alone It's a big improvement on the original livery. I'm rather hoping they'll go for some American heritage liveries at some point.
Glad to see Freightliner shunning the orange and going back to some kind of green, even if only for this one! I hate the way 70s look but they do sound powerful up close... EDIT: Also, how long did that driver have the road for before he actually moved 😂
Does look better than the orange one that appeared several weeks ago but they are a very strange looking loco and it’s going to be hard to design a livery that improves that. A bit like the saying polishing a turd!
hi there, not a fan of the class 70 diesel but the colour is good, much prefer to have a class 70 electric loco from the southern railway which i remember, great video
There’s an old saying “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear” however the paint job does look good. The body shape of the loco is born out of management’s desire to have a macho looking machine, well they succeeded there.
So much better than the Orange livery. This livery suits the 70. I wonder if the feedback was negative? The orange livery is a nice livery and suits the 90's and 66's, but lookes horrible on the 70.
The class 70s will always be ugly, but that is by far the best livery scheme yet. A definite improvement. It was very interesting watching all the video, but also rather sad, seeing all the class 60s abandoned at their birthplace, and the word "Brush" reduced to small print under the name Wabtec Faiveley UK.
I always feel sad looking at trains that are ready for recycling. It would beb lovely if they ahd memories which could be accessed. Silly, I know but that's me. New livery looks smart. much better than those horrible COLAS colours.
Sad seeing all those locomotives standing on the concrete pad 😢 Never liked the class 70 ugly ducklings 🐥 That livery looks like the old Belgium railway shunters 🤔
No orange warning line for overhead power lines.........rest looks good. TOCs must be wasting a fortune on new liveries, makes me laugh when I see a DB class 66 still in EWS livery.
Never been a great fan of the Class 70 design, but I think this livery suits it better than any of the previous FL liveries.
Well-captured!
Agreed. That big slab of yellow on the fronts never did them any favours or that swirly powerhaul livery. This breaks it up nicely.
Stunning livery to celebrate its 60th anniversary 👌
Looks great 👍
Looks great to me
Absolutely stunning design that actually suits these locomotives and helps enhance the looks of it :)
Really nice if you ask me.
Great video too ;)
Yep looks good
Fabulous makeover.
Definitely likey... Looks very smart indeed 😊
That's a bit easier on the eyes. I like that very much , far better than 70020. Excellent video as usual. Thank you.
I'm going to york. I hope I see at least 1 loco or dmu/emu I've not seen before.
yes... likey lovely green on that
I like the livery on 70008. Nice contrast too.
You would struggle to call a class 70 a good looking loco, but this paint job helps 😊
I like that livery of 70008 it looks very smart 👍. Great video mate
That livery looks like a nod to 1960s British racing cars: British racing green with yellow stripes.
Nicely done.
Nice! It always breaks my heart to see abandoned locomotives like that seen in the 1st couple of shots. Anyway, the livery looks quite nice!
The locos at Wabtec are safely stored, not abandoned.
That is very nice. Certainly different. Very good.
Better than any previous 70 livery for sure, the dark colour works well.
Those locomotives at the start have seen better day.
"60" on a "70" who would have thought it! Nice smart livery
Of course they had to do it onmmy favorite 70
Having the lower cab valance in black is a great improvement, makes the cab ends so less ' jowley' if thats a word, fat-faced would be another....
Definetely nice livery of 70020 than 70008. I was at Swinton and I catched this locomotives. I'll upload a video soon.
I always liked the SNCB livery of class 90128 "Vrachtverbinding".
That actually looks pretty decent
FINALLY Freightliner started making 70 liveries good again (looking at 70020 specifically...)
looks awful in orange
@@E34JimmyCouldn't agree more
like that livery nice capture
and that livery looks really good on the 70
Yes! love that new livery, disguises the ugly share of the ends. What are they doing with all the rotting hulks in storage?
I like it. Echoes of the 2-tone green Brush Type 4s that would have handled the boxes back in 1965 🙂 Certainly better than Gaudy & W**k tango ripple anyway 😆
She's looking good. I'm just hoping that not all of those stored locos will be scrapped, and will go to a good home...
The regular Freightliner and Colas colours make the Class 70s look workmanlike, but this makes them look stylish!
I like it. Very striking livery.
Nice livery, certainly better than that horrible orange and yellow one 👍🏼
Now that's different, might quite grow to that new livery. Nice to do my car like that! 😅😂
Love it!!!very american which it is😊
It look good.. nice video
Bit ironic freightliner 60 livery and yet surrounded by all those decaying 60s in the yard!
Fantastic Shot 👌
It's a lot better than the orange...
Cool livery nice clean look to it
Reminds me of a model rail video where someone had decked out a class 68 in a freightliner green and yellow livery, very nice it looked too.
👌
Hmm 🤔 Front looks rather like a Class 92, and for that alone It's a big improvement on the original livery. I'm rather hoping they'll go for some American heritage liveries at some point.
In my honest opinion, 70020 looks better, it's just that 70008's livery doesn't suit it. But I fully respect other people's including yours! 🙂
Maybe if the warning panel was extended around the cab sides and the upper yellow band reduced in thickness... or removed altogether?
Would have been nice if it was in the grey and red of the old Freighliner containers
Can anyone please ID the locos on view from the gatehouse which have not moved since last year ?
Easily the best-looking 70 yet. It was a low bar to clear though.
That livery reminds me of the older SNCB livery on their locos.
Glad to see Freightliner shunning the orange and going back to some kind of green, even if only for this one! I hate the way 70s look but they do sound powerful up close...
EDIT: Also, how long did that driver have the road for before he actually moved 😂

Saw a fb post about this weird Freightliner livery a couple of weeks ago and initially I hated it but it’s starting to grow on me
Have you sin the state of those class 60s 😮
A lot of people is going to hate on this but I kinda it 👀
Cab end looks like front of a minibus
hi there, not a fan of the class 70 diesel but the colour is good, much prefer to have a class 70 electric loco from the southern railway which i remember, great video
Not too bad on a 70
The livery on 70008 looks a whole lot better than 70020s livery
I do like the look of a class 70.
Suprised it’s green and not the new orange. Maybe rail freight grey with the original logo would have been a good anniversary paint job
Looks a lot better the orange 70 (020?)
Better than the 70020 livery. Could get used to it.
There’s an old saying “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear” however the paint job does look good. The body shape of the loco is born out of management’s desire to have a macho looking machine, well they succeeded there.
Sure that the body shape isn't born out of a desire for crash protection for the crew?
So much better than the Orange livery. This livery suits the 70. I wonder if the feedback was negative? The orange livery is a nice livery and suits the 90's and 66's, but lookes horrible on the 70.

0:10 which 73 is that if you know?
73964 nameplate Jeanette
Why did I read this in the voice of Vernon Kay ! No likey - no lightey !
Will they do a deltic in that colour, deltic is my favourite
Put me down as a likey
What's Wabtec doing with all of those 60s,parts reclamation?
Oh god! Somehow it looks worse than the orange!
Maybe I’m the only one but I’m not mad on that livery. Don’t like the sharp angles between yellow and green on the nose

Just seen it go thru Chesterfield and I thought YUK
It's better than 70020.
70 looks a lot better in that livery, has a bit more American look.
Whats the point in trying to make Darth Vader look like nice and pretty
Yep, as always, British engineering left rotten in the yard 😢
Yep like the new livery on 70008 and also 70020...
Sad seeing all those locomotives standing on the concrete pad 😢 Never liked the class 70 ugly ducklings 🐥 That livery looks like the old Belgium railway shunters 🤔
I bet the 60's smoke less than that! Never been a fan.
Even uglier! Who would have thought that was possible?!
Nah sorry folks I'm Not a fan of this livery I'm afraid Love The class 70's Thought
- very Yank looking
Lipstick on a pig for me sadly :(
No orange warning line for overhead power lines.........rest looks good. TOCs must be wasting a fortune on new liveries, makes me laugh when I see a DB class 66 still in EWS livery.
Yuk
Never liked the 70 look.
The new livery is good 😊 but the loco is ugly 🤮
Livery is dog ugly, but the class 70 is awesome, POWER-HAUL!
