Won't look quite like you pic as they found a large barrel of black paint in Berlin a couple of months ago.

Well I hope so or it can go back too ! Didn`t like the black on the SM blue, but I do on the PBM.

Nah, sorry, but that black final drive just looks wrong.....it resembles an aftermarket bit in need of a top coat!

If yours is a new build it will definitely have a black engine and shaft. Must admit though that in the flesh it's OK.

Very much depends on the build date. I didn't see any in UK until Febuary so they would have been built late January.

My order has just gone in for a May delivery so will be black under carriage. Really don't mind it on this colour. Just didn't think it suited the blue.

Is the final drive black on all the RTs now?

Not to be contrary, but i just watched a new 16 being uncrated here in canada (it arrived the wednesday before), and they are still silver here.
