I forget the occasion (anniversary of the Flying Scotsman, the train; not the much later locomotive?), but I once wrote to GNER suggesting the temporary adoption of 'teak' scumble on one of their trains and apple green for the loco (not the DVT). I was rather charmed that the suggestion was not met with a 'No' and that it was actually answered, and in a rather intriguing way. Of course it never happened and GNER went back to its containers.
