Hi -

Are the Avanti liveries different between the 9 and 11 car sets?  Is "Pride and Prosperity" a unique scheme or just a named "loco"?

390047 – Pendolino in Avanti part-branded livery, 9-car
390156 "Pride and Prosperity" – Pendolino in Avanti livery, 11-car

Is the "Flowing Silk" just branded "locos" with unbranded coaches?

390130 "City of Edinburgh" – Virgin Flowing Silk livery, 11-car.

Thanks!

As well as the post PLD refers to, you should see the differences on the individual Pendolinos in the product gallery (you can scroll through and see each version of the liveries offered with 3 cars ie showing driving and trailer cars).

Avanti liveries: 9 car is branded driving cars only with ghost grey trailers, 11 car the trailers are also vinyled in the Avanti livery.

Flowing silk: the flowing silk vinyls were only ever applied to the driving cars.

Names: are just that names and don't relate to any unique schemes though some have been named to reflect the livery eg the Virgin Pride Pendolino.

There is an error on the livery diagrams though - 390130 (11-car flowing silk) does not have black window surrounds (one of only three units that doesn't).

Ben has commented that if demand is high enough they may include either a 9 or 11-car that does have the black window stripe. Given they're far more common, look much better (IMO), and there are three without and none with I remain hopeful.
