Virgin  swallow intetcity, executive and blue grey plus fgw fagpacket

[Adam1701D]

Farish have done Blue/Grey, Executive, Swallow, Great Western Trains, GNER (Two releases), Midland Mainline (two versions), First Great Western Barbie, Virgin Trains

Dapol: Blue/Grey, Executive, Swallow, GNER, East Midlands Trains, First Great Western Dynamic Lines, Virgin Trains, Virgin Trains East Coast, Grand Central

Think that's all of them.

To add to Adam's list:

Farish and Dapol have both done Cross Country.

Farish did Virgin XC as well as west coast. They also did Great Western Merlin (not Fag Packet).

Dapol have also done GWR green, NX East Coast and the Network Rail NMT power Cars.

Yes, I thought the short answer was all of them.

@Spanners70 try this resource: http://ngauge.org.uk/index.php

Haha! If you want to be really pedantic neither company have done:

- GW fag packet
- the FGW dynamic lines power cars (only the later plain blue version with the dynamic lines coaches)
- Scotrail
- East Coast (grey with the purple lettering)

Hi Gang,

Virgin XC not done, nor East Coast Grey with purple stripe. GWR Fag Packet and Barbie Blue flash not done either. Initial FGW dynamic lines on power cars not done (arguably only a trial).
ScotRail interim and ScotRail 7 cities not yet done. EMR on both East Midlands and LNER base liveries only just surfaced too...so too soon obviously.
Network rail with more recent decals still to come too.
East Midlands revised on buffered power cars not done.

So still plenty out there to be done.

Later..

Ok thought the east coast version came in a book set. Only in oo gauge nick right

[RailGooner]

  If Dapol released a bookset of power cars covering every livery, would you buy it? I think I might.

Dapol did the earlier NXEC livery; pale grey with the white diagonal bands, but not the later "East Coast", which was more plain.

If Dapol released a bookset of power cars covering every livery, would you buy it? I think I might.

That would be pretty cool. I always really liked GW Merlin livery, I'd have one of those!

The HST situation on East Coast was a bit confused. The sets received a major refurbishment under National Express, so just received EC branding over the NX livery.

The paint job on the power cars tended to weather very quickly and all of these ended up in East Coast Grey with the purple stripe but the coaches were unchanged.

One set, EC64, received the full grey livery and looked most smart but the rest were revinyled by Virgin when they took over.
