As you know I am following LFJ 844W's progress in preservation very carefully and today for the first time went to have a look at her in her new livery. The picture at the top is used courtacy of Terry Partridge of LFJ 844W back in her glory days in Torpoint. My picture hasn't got the colours quite right but prity much the same as she really is. They have acctually done very well with the position of the colours just where they should be. But the blue isn't quite deep enoght in shade the red the same but the cream is too dark. Could just be the photo but I think that photo by Terry is prity good. The only other things are the top deck windows whic are now non-opening ones and there is a plate or cover over the front of the old picture. That might have been just when the change over of companyies was I am not sure but apart from that brillient. Very good job. Looking forward to the WHOTT rally her first outing. And if Terry is reading Paul the owner of her is reading this Derrick Cuff wants her to do 81B aswell on a commemerative journey.
Hi the plate you refer to in your blurb was two cfold infact originally it carried Launa Windows advertising as alot of Devon/south East Cornwall VRTs did in the late 1980's early 90's i believe but could be wrong -that it also carried on it Ferry Bus lettering at one point in the days pre-first when the VRTStook over from the ex mrw Nationals on the service i believe approx 1992??
