Teacup Bs were 64,68,69,74,80,81,82,83 and 84.  81 was the only teacup B
to be converted to an A (following an electrical fire?), and was the
last conversion before the program was halted.  68 was scrapped in this
scheme, the rest all received a V/Line repaint (without overhaul) in the
late 80's.  Application of the silver stripes to the cab sides varied
from loco to loco: where it dropped from the high-placed bands on the
side of the loco to the lower bands on the noses.  The angled portion
sloped quite steeply (looked to be about 55-60 degree slope) on some,
and shallowly (about 40 degrees) on others, but was consistent on any
particular unit.  I heard a couple of weeks ago that A66 was being
repainted in the new pass. colours, and that it should be out very soon
(may even be out by now?)

Did it ever wear the teacup livery as B66?

$200 price drop! If you've been waiting for a high-quality notebook computer at a reasonable price, this is it. The 300MHz Sony VAIO PCG-Z505TR is now only $1496. And that's a price you'll only find at CDW.
