AMJ Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 If you want inspriation see the Arriva Germany loco in this thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/17551-new-advertising-engine-from-arriva-germany/ Now can you imagine some of the UK diesels and electrics with rivetted sides?

RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted June 28, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2010 A request from me if one of you could be so kind, I'd like to see what Kestrel would have looked like in Loadhaul livery please? Surely, like anything else, it would have looked great in Loadhaul! I'll let the other guys tackle this, as they appear to have files set up for Kestrel already. A couple of recent additions from me now With the ex Fastline 66s currently off lease, what if they were given suitably neutral liveries to allow spot hire work? Here is LNER green 66303 So what if instead of sectorisation, BR remained one large unit, and as a replacement for blue adopted APT style colours. A natural progression really, the APT was a success and put into production, so the livery was adopted on the HST refurbishment program in place of Exec, to give a fleetwide appearance The APT livery, to my eyes, even makes a 66 look like a thing of the 80s! Reminds me of one of Gene Hunt's ties cheers jo 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB-AU Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 The HST wears the APT livery quite well! I wonder how it would look on a 47 or 87? Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhydgaled Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Surely, like anything else, it would have looked great in Loadhaul! I'll let the other guys tackle thisI was thinking I'd let others tackle this too... but since I did the other Kestrels here we go (same source image as before): EDIT: Just noticed I missed one of the buffers, just pretend it is orange not white. Second only to the Great Western Main Line on the list of electrification projects in Wales is probablly the Cardiff Valleys network, so here's some Electrostars liveried in Valley Lines livery in Cardiff.

SRman Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 ECML180, that is a brilliant livery application but I wou;d question whether it is a class 47 as it seems to have a Bo-Bo wheel arrangement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
f#m Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Ever thought about the reverse "might have been" a Castle in Crimson lake if the LMS had managed to persuade the GWR to sell them some in the '20s, no doubt with a straight sided Midland derived tender and no bright metal! Keith Would look pretty good I think, Olton Hall looks very nice in its red livery for the Harry Potter films and the red castles Hornby make for the train sets look pretty also. That Bulleid that was painted red for a time looked nice aswell. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the East London Line and North London Line had been fully integrated into the London Underground and the class 378s given the standard red, white and blue livery? Alternatively, class 378s could be used on the Metropolitan line to replace the A stock on the Chesham shuttle, where 8 cars of S stock are rather excessive.

stewartingram Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 No picture I'm afraid, but maybe a thought-provoking- er... thought? There I was yesterday, sitting on the Embankment (honest guv, I was working...) watching the Eye, the boats, the scenery (lol very pretty girls), and of course the occasional train crossing the bridge in the distance to Charing Cross. A 465 went over, it was in the shadow of the metalwork of the bridge, and looked stunning! The whole bodyside appeared to be in a Maunsell-ish shade of dark green, with yellow doors, white roof, and white cab ends. Now the normal South Eastern livery actually suits these units I reckon, being one of the less "trendy" styles, but can anyone do a photoshop in the style I described just to see the effect of what I appeared to see?

Dan Hamblin Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 TfL does have a semblence of control over the DLR, but has franchised out its operation and upgrading to Serco. Regards, Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Burkitt Posted July 13, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yes, the DLR is controlled by TfL but has its own branding separate from the Underground, like Tramlink and Overground.

Brighton line trains were among the few to wear the short-lived London and South East region Jaffa Cake livery, so perhaps it would have been carried by the Brighton Belle's had they lasted a bit longer.

Eek. You'd hope that afternoon tea in a Pullman would offer something more upmarket than Jaffa Cakes. Anyone think that the green and white of the current Southern livery reminds them of a cucumber sandwich? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted July 13, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2010 Not as eek as Network South East but still more Traveller's Fare than Pullman. I suspect the vehicles would have suffered a minor facelift before repainting (you can imagine the interior yourself...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Burkitt Posted July 26, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2010 Based on an image by Phil Sangwell published under the Creative Commons Attribution License. Modified image is copyright Paul Burkitt-Gray. Virgin Trains briefly leased two class 180s before returning them in favour of the class 90 + Mk3 Pretandalino. If Virgin had kept the 180s, I think they would have looked rather smart in red and silver. Interestingly, early renders of the Pendolino show it with a similar design of front end to the class 180, so something rather like this could have ened up on the WCML.

What the TfL corporate livery carried by London Overground and Tramlink might look like if applied to the DLR. Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
