JNR Liveries / Livery Eras

No, I didn't mean the Hokutosei DD51s, I was thinking of the JR Freight ones. I thought they were running in Hokkaido but I might have been wrong.

Oh, I don't recall seeing those (or if I did, I assumed they were Hokutosei ones).

 

Digging about a bit, the appropriate Tomix product description page says:

JR貨物が所有する同形の一部については、2002（平成14）年より、車両の延命と信頼性向上を目的とした更新工事が順次施され、塗色もブルーを基調としたデザインに一新されています。

 

I.e. seems these were JRF locos which were renewed/life-extended from 2002.

 

Reminds me of DB's Ozeanblau livery:

Nearly the livery Blue/cream of DD51´s

 

Hokkaido: no. 1058 & 1059 (JRF-Test livery later 80s), no. 1147, no. 1165, no. 1166

Honshu: no. 856, no. 866, no. 875, no. 889, no. 890, no. 893

 

no guarantee...

So you‘re meaning stuff like DD54 and ED71 compared to EF65 and the like

 

I don‘t think there ever was a blue/cream DL in Japan and I can‘t really think of a reason why some ELs would be blue/cream and others would be red 😄 

 

Don't forget the Shinkansen DL series 911 https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/新幹線911形ディーゼル機関車

The contrasting colour on the 911 is more yellow than cream.
