How many colour schemes have the Deltics carried?
In BR service, the Deltics carried two basic colour schemes – first two-tone green, followed by BR blue. There were several variations on these liveries including no/small/full yellow warning panels on the green, and white window surrounds on blue. In more recent years (between 1999 and 2003), 9016 ‘Gordon Highlander’ carried the purple/grey colours of Porterbrook Leasing. This livery is now itself historic, following a repaint into two-tone green.
