Whilst doing some research on FGW Fag Packet livery history, I came across this site,

Some interesting pics, particularly if you are a 'kettle' lover. :D

I have to agree with you on that one Paul it looks stunning :goggleeyes:
cheers John.
This site gave me a few ideas some years ago for some of the paint jobs that I've done. An A4 was a future project once the DCC ready ones came out.......no money at the moment though sadly. Truly a great website!
It's quite a common practice in American modelling as people create there own short line liveries and private companies.
I once had visions of putting the FGW Dynamic lines livery on a Bittern but I would need to pay someone to do it and the 'dynamic lines' is very complex and then I spent the money on something else.
I wish he was adding to the liveries on this site - there are a few more that I'd like to see.
The A4 shows where they got the Pendolino design from. Only difference the GOOD LOOKING one has got con-rods!
I saw a good one the other day, someone had painted a 00 gauge class 60 in a fictitious Freightliner green livery.
It looked really good.
I will see if i can remember where the link for the site was.....

Great idea Pengy. When Dapol bring out the Silver-grey A4 WITH valances, I might do just that to my Silver Link without valances.
I might have a go at Transpennine vinyls for my class 350 Desiro to pre-emp their use on the Glasgow-Manchester service
Not really fictitious though!
Interesting though - looking forward to seeing the results
Some really great looking liveries. I run 2 fictional companies along with my regular US outline.

:) I did this 2 years ago. Here's the thread on it if you would like a look.... http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=557.0 (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=557.0)
I've only run it a couple of times as I got rid of my layout shortly after, and now I need 3 DCC chips to run it.
