Now you DEFINATELY have too much time on your hands !!!!
But in answer to your question D9009 in GC livery !!!!

 

[Steve Enefer]

A 50 in loadhaul is going to be a reality soon 50035 is supposed to be getting this livery

50135 you mean

A 37 in Sector Petroleum livery is my favourate, maybe 37888 'Petrolea' (Where's the hellfire emotion?)

For locos I'd like to see in a livery, would have to be a 40 in BR Large Logo, oh, wait a sec

My favourite 37 livery is probably (faded) rail freight distribution

like here:

The wonderful thing about the sector liverys is that they were simple, yet looked good, something which the companies of today stuggle with :???:

I would have chosen Class 37 with Railfreight Coal sector, but I cannot find a record of working any such loco

 

[Techniquest]

Favourite diesel loco? Take a guess...

And I'd love to see any of them in BR Black and Yellow.

As for other diesels, I do enjoy 37s, 40s and 50s. Out of all of the liveries, I'd like to see a LoadHaul 37 again (only saw it once), navy FGW livery on a 40 and the old Virgin livery on a 50.

 

[me123]

EWS 37s and 92s are my favourite locos (I am aware that the last one is electric!) and I love the 90s in FSR livery too.

I'd like to see some 67s in FSR livery, for the sleepers.

 

[Juniper Driver]

My favourite Locos are only ones I have seen.....Hopefully I haven't gone off topic.It's just for seeing them and not the way they are painted.

24081 @ Willesden in 1981
44005 @ Stoke on Trent in 1979
Any class 20.
84003 @ Willesden in the late 70's.

Behind 55007 on the way to York in the late 70's.
Behind Class 45's to and from Derby in the mid 70's to the early 80's.
89001 @ Euston although I didn't get a pic.
A class 40 @ Liverpool Street although I wasn't rostered to get under and uncouple it.

 

[87015]

87015 RIP
No, its not diesel but it is my 'pet' loco. Fav diesel is a 25 then other small sulzers, 40s and the rest follows behind at various distances.

 

[Juniper Driver]

I remembered today that I actually saw 24006 @ Glasgow works in 1979 in a scrapped condition.I was 15 at the time.They were the days.

 

[43034 The Black Horse]

Fave loco HST in old MML livery:grin:

 

[devon_metro]

That was the first HST i ever saw.

Lets just say I wasn't impressed

 

[Respite]

Fav diesel Loco's:
1st-Class 47's (large logo blue).
2nd-Class 56's (Railfrieght grey with redstripe Just like 56019 My personal fav now RIP but survived till the end in this livery).
3rd-Class 37's (Large Logo blue,highland tat added).
4th-Class 20's (Grimey faded rail blue).
5th-Class 08's (Grimey faded paint worn through rail blue)

There ya go proper loco's not a skip or shed in sight...Yay!

All these remind me of when I joined the railway & the years before. None of this "make your rolling stock look like a colour blind tart" effect that all these TOC's do these days. Honestly somedays driving around the network it looks as if all the other trains have been made with lego or something.

 

[Demps]

Very hard question/s for me.

But, to be honest, anything which is different! things like the corus 37, and the NSE 87.

I would like to see a pair of choppers in anglia livery.
