32066

Post by bmmoboy » 19:30 Friday 30th April 2021

32066 is currently being repainted by the bodyshop at Worcester. If this can receive a repaint, surely 32644-6 can also be similarly treated, with 32646 getting a heritage colour scheme.

Well, that's unexpected!!! :oops:
Is she receiving a new livery (fuchsia?), or is it just a tidy up like 42892 had? :?:

Great news, - - at last !! - - thanks bmmoboy !

- What scheme is it being repainted into ?

I have seen on Facebook, some recent repaints ("up north"), into "olympia" livery as worn by 32066, that look pretty good, - but of course, road dirt, pollution, diesel spills, and inadequate cleaning, soon spoil it.

-- -- Both the Barbie and Olympia liveries carried by 32066 + 67 could now be considered to be heritage liveries !!

Well, - it's back in service, but so far it's only had the rear end and lower side skirts repainted, - in a "bolder" shade of blue ( - according to my eyes etc 8-) ).

Hopefully, the rest of the lower panels will get done soon (?)

I would like to think, also, that there is a product available to give the upper panel-work a deep clean, without contaminating the windscreen and the bus-wash ??

just seen some photos of the interior of 32066 and it appears that the poles have been painted into some shade of pink which looks quite smart!
