The orange and grey faded badly and was not a very special paintjob (nearly used
the L word) and I will not be sorry to see it go although it will remain in loco
history as one of the paintjobs worn by Victorian locos and cars. The new V/Line
passenger scheme is a very impressive and smooth scheme and surely it would be
one of the world's greatest mistakes to change it when it has become reasonably
ingrained in the publics mind. I hope you are wrong Michael.

David.
