Now that is different and most certainly impressive. Will definitely be out to photograph that on Friday.

Well they've realised that white doesn't work - how white are NXEC's?

The coaches will be in white and there's nothing wrong with white if they're cleaned regularly.

Yes SWT Express is also white. But HST Powercars are notoriously hard to keep clean. There was a reason why FGW removed the white from their Barbie HSTs... Dark colours hide the oil splats

Re: New HST livery!
That looks really good. Better than the Meridian does anyways IMO
[EDIT] Anyone going to be doing this for MSTS? I know theres not strictly a route it could be used on, but still.

If EB are true to their word, you may be able to use it on MML sometime in the not too distant future.6rdfar90 wrote:That looks really good. Better than the Meridian does anyways IMO

The light clusters need to be changed on the RS model before we can have a realistic versionTrueScotsman wrote:Is anyone going to do this for RS lol6rdfar90 wrote: [EDIT] Anyone going to be doing this for MSTS? I know theres not strictly a route it could be used on, but still.

Re: New HST livery!
Looks nice, and as I have a 9am lecture on Friday the 08.27 departure from Sheffield does seem tempting, hmmm now can I convince myself to get up early.

Re: New HST livery!
I might go down on the off chance that it works the 14.27 Sheffield - London but I'm unsure of diagrams etc, looks quite different through. The blue on my screen looks a lot lighter than the SWT blue on a desiro, might be the photo though.
A well chosen name for such a train!
