How would NSE's class 321s have looked in the Networker-style livery?

Did they not appear in this livery anyway. http://www.therailwaycentre.com/Pages%20EMU/Recognition%20EMU/IllusEMU_321.html Or am I mis-reading this post?

From page 1.... kinda spooky really.

 

 

 

 

 

If the GWML is ever electrified, what about Pendo power?

 

 

cheers

.... looks like you don't have to wait for the GW electrification!

Indeed! I do have a version in 'Barbie' livery too, but will have to wait for when I'm back on the laptop. I plan to do a TPE style version of dynamic lines too

I've had a play in Photoshop to put some older liveries onto the Pendolino

That intercity livery looks superb now 30 years old and still current.

The reverse blue and grey livery looks really good to. Some of these TOC's should look to the past for some inspirational liveries, They really dont need neons and swoops and swirls.

To my eyes, the InterCity livery is a development of the reverse blue and grey, adding the warmth that the latter lacked. It is undoubtedly a classic, which looks as good today as it did on the day that it was first unveiled. That said, times change and we live in an era where swoops and swirls seem to be the height of fashion - or so the image consultants would have us to believe. Many thanks to ewsjo for taking on these liveries. Garry

brilliant Jo!

[Michael Delamar]

quick adjustment to Jo's pic, hope you dont mind Jo, ive never liked that black plastic around and under the windscreen which give it the look it has, if that where yellow it would change it.

 

I do like the black surrounds on the APT window that wrapped round to the side window but I havent the tools to do that.

It still reminds me of a certain part of the male anatomy.

 

Best, Pete.

FGW livery is an improvement on the current bland colour scheme and lets hope this happens,intercity is a real blast from the past.

[Steadfast]

A few more, including an APT modification for Mr Delamar. The black side window surround is a pain to fit in! To include the windscreen would have looked even weirder!

I was rather worried that someone may have produced a flesh coloured livery after my comment, thankfully they did not.

 

The front end shape is rather unfortunate.

 

Best, Pete.

[northernblue109]

Agreed re the First livery, very mpressive. Garry

[Michael Delamar]

those headlights look like they should be on a cute little city car

[Dr Gerbil-Fritters]

Whatever colour you paint it, the Pendolino is one ugly bulbous piece of rubbish. Bring back an 87 and MKIIIs!

[Michael Delamar]

short of grafting on an entire APT cab, just the headlights.

Best, Pete.

Thankfully, mine doesn't need a windscreen wiper

[Dan Griffin]

there is a picture in the book, the intercity story that shows a HST power car in the Intercity livery that was applied to the 91's. it looks good but ive never seen a livery pic of it, any chance for those that are good agt this sort of thing? cheers.

[Dr Gerbil-Fritters]

short of grafting on an entire APT cab...

 

already done here

[Michael Delamar]

already done here

thats great.

maybe try other front ends for fun, like the TGV or bullet train, at least they look like they are going fast when stood still.

But what you do need is contrasting colours for the doors to comply with disability regs. Not sure how you would do this for the InterCity livery, however I have allways thought that SNCF had the right idea ages ago (well before the said regs came in I point out) - Paint standard class doors green, first yellow and catering red. The angled design on the TGVs worked particularly well in my view.

 

In many ways I think it would be better to return to just a few standardised liveries (certanly cheeper when the franchise holder changes - with the franchise owners influence restricted to company name and logo like Scotrail is now.
