Candy looked really good on some locos and awful on others.  The 81 class looked
great, the 44 class looked crap.  Box locos looked better than nosed and hooded
locos in candy.  The XPT looked better in candy than blue.

BTW, how can you criticise candy when VLP can't even match the locos to the
carriages!!
