An idea for a Class 73

I have had a Class 73 sat in the cupboard for a while now, what to do with it?

In just over a year it will be 100 years of the Southern Railway.

Let's imagine that Eastliegh have come up with a plan to celebrate this. They have spoken to there apprentices "there is a Class 73 in the yard, you can do anything you like"

What would they do?

First we will need to rub it down and give it a coat of primer.

Let's paint it Dark Olive Green.

Dew to legal requirements it has to have Yellow ends.

Then a Black boarder with white lining.

I have to say she looks stunning. 

This was the second attempt as the first attempt went drastically wrong. After a coat of varnish, there seem to be a reaction with the paint.

One of those occasions when you just want to sink in to a big black hole. Never has this happened before so I can't explain why this happened. She was left alone for a good few days before the varnish was applied. Hay-ho.
