I decided to have a go at a creative fictional livery and I think it turned out quite well. I'm going to try a few more with diferent theme's, a Simpsons one is on the cards .
you know, that may not be strictly prototypical for a 153 (i don't know, i don't live anywhere near where they run), but has anyone seen the recent colourful SWT inner suburban trains? (455? i think they were also known as 4EPB or something at one point, though that's probably rubbish)...
anyway, the SWT trains are painted in some nice advertising liveries a bit like that one... prototype for everything!
