Now, if you had an HST in GWR livery (lined Brunswick Green power cars,  Chocolate & Cream coaches) then you MIGHT be talking!

BTW, did you know that it was proposed at one time to power the HST's with a Deltic engine at either end??

Still prefer Valentas, hence my sister Youtube channel!

I think the Intercity Swallow HST 8+2 formation would work a treat, as I love that livery!

Even though that's a thought, getting a HST formation in the original GWR livery, interesting thought there!

Was it a 50 or a 47 they painted up in a mock GWR livery? Did a bubble car in chocolate and cream too...

I'm sure many of you will have seen them before, but there's no harm in looking at them again

Personally, though, I prefer this one...
