    I`ve notice that Freightliner has unveiled their first class 90 in their new livery :https://scontent.fosl3-1.fna.fbcdn....=47197b62621f524844e9c0dea54857d7&oe=5ECE0A75

    A matter of taste of course, but I have to admit that I like Freightliners yellow and green livery better;)

    I always thought they would have suited the Brush Type 4 (47's) two tone green...but built too long after that era.

    Think the orange quite suits them, but then again apart from basic grey most liveries seem to suit them.

    Always been a fan of the 90's!

    Bit garish for my tastes, although I do agree that they would suit two-tone green.

    Haven't LSL just bought a 90, so you might well see one in the flesh in two tone green. :)
