nice pics, didnt think the livery would be nice on an HST but I was wrong.

[NeneValleyRailway]

Great pics, that HST does'nt look too bad at all!

[Anonymizeruk]

Ditto - nice pics there, and (suprisingly) I think that powercar looks rather smart with its XC clobber on!

Cheers

The XC livery looks great on an HST. Possibly one of the best ever. If only they still whistled . . . .
