Morning everyone. The wonderful West Coast Main Line terminus of Glasgow Central. Time to jump on board rail blue 86224 ‘Caledonian’ for the journey south. Have a great day, whatever you have planned. 👍

Rail blue at finest, work stained and weathered! No heat 47369 speeds through Hest Bank with northbound service.

The corporate colours of British Rail looking amazing on the this class 86. The bare cab front end, with no additional jumper cables, and lack of headlight just gives it such a clean and uncluttered appearance.

@_doublearrow You may have come across before but if not, a ScotRail with a #Railblue stripe! An early experiment?
shared a photo with you from the Flickr app. Check it out:

For today’s #TwitterModelTrainShow I’ve switched out the rims of my crossing signs for the earlier plain white, so I can run a bit of #RailBlue - as seen at the very end of my ‘how-to’ video: https://t.co/ikirPY7sYU #TMRGUK
@Johnners733 Seems these 2 Macduffs (47711 and 47712) were a law unto themselves! Are you saying the 7’s were being overhauled and released in standard blue? Here’s a fully leaded #RailBlue 47704 at Crewe Works in December 1982

This was the second of the Crewe ZC batch, when custard was custard—even on the air horns!—and lead (probably Chrome Yellow) and phthalocyanine (Monastral Blue) were still constituents of #RailBlue; but whatever you do, don’t look too closely at those ‘Rail Alphabet’ numbers
A portrait of minty-fresh 56117 by Colin Mytton at BREL Crewe, 29/1/83. History does not record the reasons for Crewe’s preference for grey bodyside grilles but they featured to the end of production there. @_doublearrow
An excellent example of one of the reasons why #RailBlue was chosen as a locomotive bodyside (disguise) colour…
MANCHESTER PICCADILLY: 86226
In the grim mid-winter the railway went on. 'Royal Mail Midlands' waits for the off with a Euston service in 1986/7. Clearly only essential cleaning being effected!
Fully leaded (should that be coppered* perhaps?) #RailBlue
Copper phthalocyanine (‘Monastral Blue’) was a key component of Rail Blue (but they are *not* the same thing)
Fresh from the works following a BR blue repaint, D8314 stands at York shed date unknown #TwentiesOnTuesday

Monastral Blue (aka Phthalocyanine Blue)
Just needs some Chromium Yellow and we’re in business

A quadruple Brumification....
A couple of recently overhauled Class 31s, 31272 and 31249 in a marvellous fresh coat of actual #RailBlue at Doncaster Works, October 1980
