Rail-y good idea?

[bigalan]

A couple of weeks ago I joked on here about using the BR logo on a car as both my dad and grandad had worked for them.



Ever since then I have wondered how railway colour would look on the right shape if car ;D In the for sale section there's a White Espace like this:



Do you think it would suit a BR colour scheme? Anyone got the Photoshop skills to show me? i'm thinking 80s-90s like these:



Would doing my caravan to match be too far?

In my opinion....


... That would look brilliant!

genius ;D

[awoo]

its a shabby effort but it shows what might be in a magic8ball kind if way

Cool idea. You may get a lot of things thrown at you though! But at least it wont scratch the paint that bad, seeing as the body is fibreglass! ;D

I learned to drive in a white espace, the same model! Used it a lot when I passed. Got a real soft spot for them!

EDIT: maybe put a pun in the name, to avoid ppl taking you seriously.
Ah, pity, in French you could have put Râle, which means moan! ;D

Had thought about that after reading the Postman Rat thread with Royal Fail. British Fail wouldve a possibility. Or Intershitty? Could have the 125 logos but with km/h added :-)

Wonder how easy it would be to get the two tone horn from a train? :-)

At least if you rocked up late in i. No one would question why, they would just know:-)

I'm for full Intercity 125 colours and logo

I'm liking that, or if if was the APT, could you get it to lean into the bends for added realism.

next you have to get it to run on rails

Really shoddy MS Paint of the blue and grey version!

Edit: I like ^^^^^^, must have been posted while I was painting. Makes mine look pants :-(

You'd just have to do the carriage caravan to match, would be FTW seeing that roll down the motorway!

Folk would double take I reckon :-)

For the caravan in blue and grey you could go with a yellow stripe above the front windows (1st class) and red overe the back half (buffet car) :-)

The more I think the more I want to add :-)
