The full East Coast livery was a sort of silvery grey with a light purple stripe. Not much better than above though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Coast_(train_operating_company)#/media/File%3A91_128_Kings_Cross(8077556150).jpg When Virgin took over they slapped a diagonal red patch over the East Coast livery.

RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted July 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2019 I’ve decided to try and make a complete list of liveries that the class 91s have worn. In approx chronological order. Intercity Swallow GNER blue with gold letters GNER blue with white NatEx stripe NatEx grey and white NatEx grey and white with an East Coast sticker GNER blue with white stripe and East Coast sticker East Coast silvery grey East Coast purple and grey Flying Scotsman livery East Coast 91110 Lest We Forget East Coast 91111 For the Fallen East Coast 91125 blue Sky 1 HD livery East Coast silvery grey with diagonal red block and Virgin logo Virgin red and white Virgin red and white with Saltire design Flying Scotsman livery Red and white with LNER lettering Red and white with LNER lettering and #GetNorth2018 lurid stripes I kind of thought I’d like to model one in every livery, but that’s 16 different liveries, so quite a challenge. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, 91111 was the only vehicle in the 225 fleet to ever receive the full NatEx livery, the other 91s, and all the Mk4s inc DVTs remained in GNER with white NX stripe until going into East Coast silver / grey. So it's current livery's the second time this loco's had a unique livery. It also btw, still carries it's mouse, from being originally named Terence Cuneo in IC days. Also, there were two versions of the East Coast livery, the first sets done had a very distinctively silver shade, said to be inspired by the LNER's (the original one) 'Silver Jubilee' train. Later they were that much duller grey shade. 4 hours ago, nightstar.train said: I’ve decided to try and make a complete list of liveries that the class 91s have worn. In approx chronological order.

Taking entry to service in 1989, that amounts to over 800 miles a day, every single day, since then.

In 2015, before being named ‘Intercity 50’, 91128 carried a one off Christmas livery and was a “Claus 91”. There was also a DVT done the same, as well as a driving car on a Pendolino, which they called a “Penguilino” Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found another; 91132 Time to Change Pledge (mental health discrimination) Virgin red/white, rebranded to LNER Dont think trainbow was 107, as think that one's still named Skyfall. Also 91101 Virgin/Saltaire, and 'trainbow' rebranded to LNER So, if we count the special livery rebrandings, as well as the standard livery ones, that manages to get us to more liverys than locos! 34, or is there any more still missing?

EddieK Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 When I worked for GNER many of the trains on my commute were Class 91 powered. Although the fleet had official names, loco 91132 "City of Durham" was affectionately known as "Lucky". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
