Just thought I'd alert you all to this new add-on from RS.com:
Available this Friday! The Green and Gold HST Add-On features the HST power car and coaches in the original First Great Western livery, as adopted when First Group originally took over the Great Western service. Also included are 3 Career System scenarios as well as a free roam scenario to test your skills as a high-speed train driver.

Wonder if this'll install alongside the other HSTs (like the HST Buffers did), or separately?

Where did the NSE 47 install? Was it in the RSC addon folder? If so, I would reckon in there.

Yeah, the NSE 47 used the RSC folder so I suspect this will be similar.

The pics of that livery look fantastic. The lines look perfect. I gave up with this reskin, making the lines look right drove me batty. Rik is going to be thrilled to see this livery finally available.

It looks fantastic, a tricky livery to reskin indeed, it must have been. Love the name: "fag packet", really curious, (for a foreigner, I mean).

Although in America, it means something quite different...

Yeah exactly, you'll probably be laughed at.

Mark, I think you're thinking of the Great Western Merlin livery which came before the 'fag packet' livery
.

I am aware of the connotations, gents, thanks for the information, anyway.
It's a nice livery, by the way.
