Spotlight On Candy Livery

Candy, the livery everyone loves, and who can blame them. Afterall, it pulled us out of that dreary Indian Red (and reverse) era, and into the awesome decade that was the 80s.

Our most recent project covers the candy livery 

and can be found at the

Australian Locomotive Rosters website.

It gives a little history, covers all locomotives and railcars that were so painted, and has 107 photos of locomotives, railcars and other sundry assorted guff to wear it during that era.

Our pleasure.

4701 arriving at Picton Station. If i recall correctly, it was headed to Thirlmere.
