Ok let's have some fun.
If you could design a rolling stock livery, what would it be?

All ideas welcome and if you've got a photoshopped/AI image then let's see it.
Or even a resprayed model railway coach.

I went on to Gemini and asked it to:

Make an image of a British Rail mark 1 coach, painted in Pearl grey with a 3 inch jaffa orange stripe just below the windows. Charcoal grey roof and black ends.
This is what it came up with:

Ok. I'd be intrigued if this turned up at my local station. Not a bad attempt at the livery.

I changed it from Pearl Grey to white and got this:

I'm intrigued by the double hinged doors and the handles on the wrong side.


So. If using AI (I used Gemini) you must be very specific about what you want.

I posted this in the 'Mad AI image' thread. The ask was 'make an HST in Orient Express colours'. Obviously, in this case it's loosely based on something existing; I hadn't specified 'blue with orange and white stripes' or anything like that. However, I quite like it and, if I wanted to repaint a model I might base it on this, looking at the livery and not the very altered body side!

That does actually look pretty good. Definitely reminds me of Grand Central.

Looks like mk2s behind the power car.
