'Big Four' steam in TOC liveries

[Sun Chariot]

No, this isn't a gauntlet laid down to the railway preservation movement, nor to the model manufactures - but a whimsical "what if today's franchises were around at the time of the Big Four railway companies". Such as:

Gresley P2 2-8-2 in 'Grand Central' black/orange, complete with chrome boiler bands and GC 'art deco' tender emblem.

Gresley A4 'Streak' in 'East Coast' white/silver, with the purple trimmings.

Bullied 'Spamcan' in 'SouthEast Trains' principal express colours, as per cl.444.

What else? Your move...

This in modern Scotrail blue, but only on one side, just to see if anyone notices the difference.

When it left the works, didn't A1 Tornado have the NXEC livery on it?

It certainly looked like it!

Or was it Connex?

No - it was in gray undercoat with NXE logos

The undercoat grey livery is documented in the 2008 section of the photo gallery on the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust website:

The NXEC logos were only carried for one test run to Newcastle, which was sponsored by them:
