Teacup Throwback

A tribute to the once dominant orange and silver VicRail 'teacup' colours, Steamrail's B72 is seen on display for the 2020 Newport Workshops Open Days.

 

One side featured this orange and silver 'teacup', and the other side in the V/Line orange and grey livery.

 

 

A funny rumour regarding the colour of these locomotives when repainted, is that an aircraft company had ordered too much of this vibrant orange paint. In which, litres of it was sold cheaply to the then VicRail for use on their locomotive and carriage fleet.

 

Newport Workshops, Vic.
